Question 1 of 5
Which of the following common habit of patients may cause microbes to re-populate and re-establish an infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. When a patient stops taking the drug when feeling better, it can lead to incomplete eradication of the microbes, allowing them to re-populate and cause a recurrent infection. This is because even though symptoms may have improved, some microbes may still be present and need to be completely eliminated to prevent recurrence.
Choice B is incorrect because switching to multiple drug therapy may actually be necessary to combat resistant strains or different types of infections.
Choice C is incorrect as using OTC drugs prophylactically does not necessarily lead to re-population of microbes.
Choice D is incorrect as increasing drug dosage without medical advice can lead to adverse effects but not necessarily re-population of microbes.
