Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Long-term use of corticosteroid ophthalmic agents may result increased IOP, optic nerve damage, defects in visual acuity, and fields of vision, cataracts, and secondary ocular infections.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Prostaglandins sensitize pain receptors and increase the pain associated with other chemical mediators of inflammation and immunity, such as bradykinin, histamine, and leukotrienes. Insulin, thyroid hormone, and calcitonin are not chemical mediators of inflammation. Phospholipids, arachidonic acid, and platelets are not chemical mediators of inflammation. Red blood cells, lymph, and serosa are not chemical mediators of inflammation.
