Question

antibiotic resistance is both a personal and public health issue. what is not a strategy for reducing antibiotic resistance?
taking antibiotics for the entire recommended time
taking antibiotics for bacterial infections only
using antibiotics only when prescribed
sharing antibiotics

Explanation:

To reduce antibiotic resistance, strategies involve proper use: taking antibiotics for the full recommended time (ensures all bacteria are killed, preventing resistant strains), taking them only for bacterial infections (antibiotics don't work on viruses, unnecessary use promotes resistance), and using them only when prescribed (avoids overuse). Sharing antibiotics is unsafe and inappropriate—different people have different infections, dosages, and sharing can lead to improper use, underdosing (allowing bacteria to survive and become resistant), or overdosing. So sharing antibiotics is not a strategy to reduce resistance.

Answer:

D. sharing antibiotics
