Hi donna, so your question, your two questions here are assessing your understanding of how antibiotics, when taken incorrectly, can lead to resistance to the antibiotics by the organism.
00:13
And then the second question is kind of weaving in some other factors.
00:20
But for question one, you have the three options, right? why is it important for a patient to finish an entire prescription of antibiotics? the first option to prevent a delayed allergic reaction, two to decrease chances of an organism becoming resistant, three to decrease chances of a person becoming resistant.
00:43
So this question is assessing your understanding of the fact that the organism that you're trying to kill, if not all the organisms are killed by finishing the course of antibiotics, the ones remaining are going to be a little bit more resistant than the overall average resistance of the population to begin with.
01:03
So question one, your second choice, you want to complete it to decrease the chances of the organism becoming resistant.
01:32
The person taking the antibiotic is not becoming resistant.
01:37
They never become resistant because that is not the selective pressure.
01:41
The selective pressure is on the organism that you're trying to kill, the bacteria, for example.
01:47
So question one, the bullet that you have checked off, the second option is correct.
01:53
Lower the chance of the organism becoming resistant...
