Activated through either an intrinsic or extrinsic event, the clotting mechanism leads to a common pathway resulting hemostasis

Thrombin
Which of the following is responsible for removal of damaged to erythrocytes: bone marrow. Liver. Spleen. Pancreas.
Spleen
All of the following are true regarding a erythropoietin except: actively removes CO2 in the tissue. Erythropoietin is a hormone. Erithropoetin is produced in response to hypoxemia. Stimulates the production of red blood cells
Actively removes CO2 in the Tissue
The spleens role in the hematologic system

Anticoagulant
The class of drugs that can dissolve a thrombus and reopen an artery or vein
Thrombolytic
Anemia decreases oxygen levels to the kidneys which stimulates erythropoetin production
True
Which of the following would suggest that red cells should be given: thrombocytopenia level of 75,000. Hematacritic level of 30%. Hypoxia, decreased urine output, decreased level of consciousness. Hypertension.

True
Bleeding time is helpful in determining vascular integrity
True
Which lab isused to evaluate the patient's ability to initiate clotting and form the foundation of a clot

Spontaneous bleeding is associated with a platelet count of less than
20,000 /mm 3
What are we expected laboratory findings in a patient with thrombocytopenia
Decreased platelet count, normal PT, APTT, prolonged bleeding time.
A patient who developed heparin induced thrombocytopenia HIT should receive platelet transfusions to increase their platelet count to above 100,000
False
The most common cause of thrombocytopenia is related to drug side
False

True
What is produced when cross-linked fibrin is broken up
D – dimer
One of the first signs and symptoms of DIC is. Inappropriate clotting and thrombosis
False
Which of the following processes would be least likely to initiate DIC: pneumonia. Sepsis. Obstetrical emergency. Snakebite
Pneumonia
Clinical presentation of the patient with DIC includes
Hematomas, epistaxis and petechiae
Which treatment may be used in a patient with thrombocytopenia but not typically used in a patient with DIC

Oh hi red blood cell count could indicate you erythrocytosis
True
Red cell distribution width measures the variation in size of the rbcs
True
The fibrinogen level maybe elevated with sepsis
True
What occurs when an inflammatory process is present
The high proportion of fibrinogen causes red blood cells to stick to each other
PT evaluate the extrinsic pathway and warfarin therapy
True
PT, INR and PTT evaluate if the patient has the plasma proteins needed to form a clot
True
What are the expected laboratory findings in a patient with thrombocytopenia
Decreased platelet count, normal PT, APTT, prolonged bleeding time
The clinical presentation of a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura is dependent upon what indicator of severity
