Q1) Scenario 1: Student Traveling Abroad Situation :

Sarah, a university student, is preparing for a school trip to a tropical country known to have malaria. She has never traveled to a place like this before and isn't sure what precautions to take.

• Sarah should avoid all medications and rely only on natural remedies like eating garlic and drinking herbal teas to prevent malaria.
