Why do you think that Arjun must continue to take antibiotics for five weeks following his release from the hospital
3241004551 [841]

TLDR: Antibiotics must be taken several weeks to fully kill the bacteria. Else, surviving bacteria develops drug resistance.

Antibiotic prescription really depends on the patient's condition. Some conditions like major surgery or diseases that cause immunosuppression are more prone to bacterial infection, thus they must take antibiotics for prolonged periods of time to fight their current infections or prevent further infections.

Antibiotics, as a general rule, must be given 7 days or several weeks (depending on the bacteria/pathogen) to be sure that all the disease-causing bacteria are dead. If the drugs are taken only until symptoms fade, the surviving bacteria (now fewer in number and not causing symptoms) will develop mutations that may help resist the previously-taken antibiotic, giving rise to drug resistance.

Thus, Arjun must take the antibiotics for several weeks more (according to the doctor's orders, of course) to kill all remaining bacteria and also to prevent bacterial drug resistance. Which is really problematic, since we're slowly losing our number of effective antibiotics.

Lead time bias is best described as:A)an actually longer survival time for persons identified during a screening program because
dem82 [27]

The correct answer is D) An apparently longer survival time among persons identified during a screening program because they were identified at an earlier stage of their disease

Explanation:

In medicine, screening is a method to diagnose diseases even if the person has no symptoms; due to this, screening is related to earlier detection of diseases than traditional diagnosis based on symptoms. Early diagnosis does not imply longer survival time, but it can lead to doctors or individuals to perceive the survival time was longer, this phenomenon is known as lead-time bias.

For example, a person diagnosed with cancer at an early stage when he is 45 years old,  dies at 50 years old, this means his survival time was 5 years. If the same person is diagnosed at 48 years based on symptoms and he dies at 50 it seems the survival time is less (2 years); however, this is biased as the diagnosis did not change the effect of the disease. According to this, lead-time bias can be described as "an apparently longer survival time among persons identified during a screening program because they were identified at an earlier stage of their disease".
