Question 428 Deck Safety
70% to passOnce you have established the daily ration of drinking water in a survival situation, how should you drink it?
A
The complete daily ration at one time during the day
B
One-third the daily ration three times daily
C
Small sips at regular intervals during the day
D
Small sips only after sunset
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) One-third the daily ration three times daily. This is the correct approach because it helps conserve the limited water supply and maintain hydration levels throughout the day. Drinking the complete daily ration at once can lead to excessive water loss and dehydration. Small sips at regular intervals (option C) or only after sunset (option D) are also less effective at maintaining consistent hydration. Dividing the daily ration into three equal portions and consuming them at regular intervals during the day is the recommended practice to manage water consumption in a survival situation.
