Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Urticaria, also commonly called hives, involves a histamine-mediated response that can be either acute or chronic. A wide range of situations are associated with hives, including a variety of infections, allergies to foods and medications, or underlying systemic disease. Urticaria are pink or red wheals that are very pruritic. Frequently they are associated with anaphylaxis and/or angioedema.

They range in size from millimeters to over 10 cm and are usually flat macules or patches. Although the color varies, most are coffee colored.
