Describe your personal philosophy about how and when you have taken, or would take, antibiotics. What experiences or prior knowledge do you have that shaped that personal philosophy?
When I was younger, I definitely took antibiotics when I was sick. I would absolutely take antibiotics and I do feel strongly about compliance. My mom is a nurse and I constantly hear about how difficult it is for patients and our world community (actually) that people don’t always take antibiotics as they’re prescribed.
People usually stop taking the medication when they start to feel better, but the infection still rages on and they should continue to completion. This also helps with reducing the potential for mutation and antibiotic resistance which has impact on our world community.
