Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Histamine is the most common mediator of urticaria; it causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and pruritus. Cytokines, including interleukin, and CD4+ lymphocytes do not usually mediate the development of urticaria.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Levothyroxine (Synthroid) should be taken on an empty stomach to increase absorption. The medication should not be taken with food. Exercise has no effect on the administration of the medication. Levothyroxine has a long half-life of about 6 to 7 days.
