A. Conges ve heart failure
B. Smoking
C. Post-surgical state
D. Anemia

Verified Explana!on: Conges ve heart failure, smoking, and post-surgical states
are all associated with increased risk of thrombosis due to factors like blood stasis,

2. Which of the following is FALSE of disseminated intravascular coagula!on
(DIC)? Select all that apply.:
A. Lab results show a decreased PT
B. Lab results show a decreased PTT
C. Fibrinogen may be decreased
D. Elevated D-dimer levels
Correct Answer: A. Lab results show a decreased PT; B. Lab results show a
decreased PTT
, Verified Explana!on: In DIC, both PT (prothrombin me) and PTT (par al
thromboplas n me) are typically prolonged, not decreased, due to deple on of
clo+ng factors. Fibrinogen is o,en low, and D-dimer is elevated due to excessive
clot breakdown.
3. The three stages of hemostasis include each of the following except:
A. Vascular spasm
B. Platelet plug forma on
C. Blood coagula on
D. Vascular dila on
Correct Answer: D. Vascular dila on
Verified Explana!on: The three primary stages of hemostasis are vascular spasm
(vasoconstric on), platelet plug forma on, and blood coagula on (fibrin clot
forma on). Vascular dila on is not part of the hemosta c response; on the
contrary, ini al vasoconstric on limits blood loss.
