What is a patient's responsibility after being prescribed treatment by a doctor?

  1. Visit another doctor for a second opinion

  2. Return after 2 weeks

  3. Self-medicate if not feeling better

  4. No responsibility

The correct answer is: Return after 2 weeks

After being prescribed treatment by a doctor, a patient's responsibility is to follow and complete the course as outlined by the doctor. This may include returning after a specified amount of time, attending follow-up appointments, or taking any prescribed medication as directed. Option A, visiting another doctor for a second opinion, is not necessary or recommended as it may lead to conflicting treatment plans. Option C, self-medicating if not feeling better, is also not recommended as it can be dangerous and may interfere with the prescribed treatment. Option D, no responsibility, is incorrect as the patient has a responsibility to actively participate in their own treatment plan for optimal results.
