Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The culture and sensitivity test serves to identify the pathogenic microorganism, determine which treatment will eliminate the microorganism, and monitor the microorganism's response to therapy. Most microorganisms require oxygen for growtha condition of living microorganisms not a purpose for a culture and sensitivity test.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Urticaria, commonly called hives, is characterized by the sudden appearance of edematous, raised pink areas called wheals that itch and burn. Vitiligo occurs when areas of the skin are completely lacking in pigmentation. Eczema causes small vesicles to appear, as well as reddened and pruritic skin; sometimes, the vesicles burst and ooze, forming crusts. With psoriasis, epidermal cells rapidly proliferate and form small, scaly patches of skin.
