Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because Class I and Class II MHC proteins present antigens to T-cell receptors for immune response activation. Class I MHC presents endogenous antigens to CD8+ T cells, while Class II MHC presents exogenous antigens to CD4+ T cells. Choice A is incorrect because MHC proteins do not transduce signals. Choice B is incorrect because MHC proteins do not mediate immunoglobulin class switching. Choice D is incorrect because MHC proteins do not directly stimulate interleukin production.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because an antigenic determinant is not a paratope, but an epitope. Epitope is a small portion of a macromolecule that is recognized by antibodies. Variable region domains of antibodies contain the antigen recognition site. The class of an immunoglobulin is indeed determined by its heavy chain. Therefore, C is the only statement that is not true.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because long-term immobilization can indeed cause permanent disability in the case of a grade 2 sprain. Prolonged immobilization can lead to muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and decreased range of motion, which can result in long-term disability. Choice A is incorrect because adequate circulation is more related to prolonged immobilization, not short-term removal for evaluation. Choice B is incorrect as edema is a short-term concern and not a direct result of long-term immobilization. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication that a heavier cast will be used.
