### Question 1
The coagulation cascade involves each of the following except:
- Make thrombocytes
,Verified Explanation:
The coagulation cascade is responsible for the conversion of soluble plasma
proteins into an insoluble fibrin clot. It includes activation of intrinsic and
extrinsic pathways, conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, and fibrinogen to
fibrin. Thrombocyte (platelet) formation is a process called thrombopoiesis,
primarily taking place in the bone marrow, and is not a direct function of the
coagulation cascade.
---
Which of the following increases the chance of clotting? Select all that apply.
- Protein C deficiency
Verified Explanation:
Protein C is a natural anticoagulant that degrades factors Va and VIIIa. Its
deficiency results in a loss of inhibitory control of the coagulation cascade, thus
increasing clotting risk. In contrast, vitamin K deficiency, vWF deficiency, and
thrombocytopenia impair coagulation and increase bleeding risk.
---
The three stages of hemostasis include each of the following except:
- Vascular dilation
, Verified Explanation:
Hemostasis refers to the cessation of bleeding and consists of: (1) vascular
constriction, (2) formation of a platelet plug, and (3) blood coagulation.
Vascular dilation is not a component of hemostasis and would, in fact,
promote rather than prevent bleeding.

### Question 2
Which of the following medications would decrease a person’s risk for clotting?
Select all that apply.
- Heparin
- Warfarin
- Lovenox (enoxaparin)
Verified Explanation:
Heparin, warfarin, and Lovenox are anticoagulants that interfere with different
aspects of coagulation. Heparin and Lovenox (a low-molecular-weight heparin)
enhance antithrombin III activity, while warfarin inhibits vitamin K-
dependent synthesis of clotting factors. Vitamin K is needed for clotting factor
synthesis and could promote clotting if used in excess.
