Exercise 1

A woman slips on ice while getting out of her car and twists her ankle. It becomes red, swollen, and painful, and she hesitates to put any weight on it. Her physician recommends she take some ibuprofen, and within half an hour her discomfort has improved considerably. This is because
A) ibuprofen inhibits chemotaxis by neutrophils.
B) ibuprofen inhibits the release of histamine.
C) ibuprofen inhibits chemokine production by lymphocytes.
D) ibuprofen inhibits the production of arachidonic acid-derived inflammatory mediators.
E) ibuprofen inhibits the mediation of pain by injured nerve endings.
