Question

Antibiotic resistance has become a major problem worldwide.

Answer 1

Answer:

Educating people on the use of antibiotics

Explanation:

Antibiotics are becoming less effective because patients are not taking their full courses and providers are over prescribing them. Many people demand antibiotics not knowing that they are not useful for treating viral and fungal infections, thus allowing the bacteria already present inside of them to develop resistance. This also happens when a patient doesn't take all of their antibiotics. They may think that they feel fine after a few days of taking antibiotics and that they no longer have to take them, but in reality they are not free from the disease causing bacteria. The bacteria then have a chance to multiply again, this time with resistance to the treatment. Educating patients on conditions like sepsis and their mortality will help with medication adherence to decrease the likelihood of antibiotic abuse
