Which of the following behaviors will NOT help you prevent antibiotic resistance:
a. Don't demand an antibiotic when your health care provider determines one isn't appropriate. Ask about ways to help relieve your symptoms.
b. Take an antibiotic for a viral infection such as a cold, a cough, or the flu.
c. Take medicine exactly as your health care provider prescribes. If he or she prescribes an antibiotic, take it until it is gone, even if you're feeling better.
d. Don't take leftover antibiotics or antibiotics prescribed for someone else. These antibiotics may not be appropriate for your current symptoms. Taking the wrong medicine could delay getting correct treatment and allow bacteria to multiply.
