If the environment gets cold, we will often shiver in order to:

• keep body temperature the same as the external temperature
• decrease body temperature
• increase body temperature
• regulate blood pressure

To prevent antibiotic resistance from developing, you should... (Select all that apply.)

• only use antibiotics when needed

• only take half the amount of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor

• only take antibiotics for viruses

• complete the full amount of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor

How has antibiotic resistance changed over time?

• It hasn't changed at all.

• Bacteria are becoming less resistant to the antibiotics that are being prescribed.

• Humans are buying less antibiotics, and antibiotics are becoming more effective.

• Bacteria are becoming more resistant to the antibiotics that are being prescribed.
