Histamine causes allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing. 4. Lymph doesn't directly respond to allergens. 5. Hormones and platelets are not primary mediators of allergic reactions.

Question 2 of 5
The stage of dying in which a person believes “yes me
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Acceptance. In the stages of dying proposed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, acceptance is the final stage. This stage involves coming to terms with one's mortality and finding peace with the situation. It signifies a readiness to die without fear or resistance. In contrast, denial (choice C) involves refusing to accept the reality of impending death, while depression (choice B) typically occurs after denial when the person starts to feel sad about their situation. Choice A is not a stage in the Kubler-Ross model and does not align with the progression of emotions in facing death.
