You didn't answer this question.

3. Blood clots can develop in the lower leg during extended travel by air or motor vehicle. How often should you move around to keep your circulation normal?
You didn't answer this question.
You answered
The correct answer is
If you can, walk up and down the aisle of the plane. If traveling by bus or train, make the same effort. If traveling by car, stop and walk around every 2 to 3 hours, the CDC says. While seated, you can move your legs and stretch and flex your feet, which improves blood flow in your calves. Movement prevents blood from pooling. Wearing compression stockings and loose, comfortable clothing can reduce the risk of developing a blood clot. So can sitting in an aisle seat.
A.
Every 15 minutes
B.
Every 30 minutes
C.
Every 2 to 3 hours

Every 4 hours

Your healthcare provider
B.
U.S. Embassy

You didn't answer this question.
You answered

A.
Colas
B.

C.

D.
Water
6. Which of these beverages would be the safest to drink while traveling abroad?
You didn't answer this question.
You answered

It's safest to drink directly from the bottle or can, rather than from a glass, the CDC says. Also be careful of water on the outside of the bottle or can.
