TOPIC 1: COAGULATION DISORDERS
10 Questions • 10.0% of Exam • This topic covers the diagnosis and management of various bleeding and clotting disorders.
QUESTION 1
A patient with a history of bleeding disorders is being evaluated for a suspected
coagulopathy. Which of the following laboratory values would be most indicative of this
patient's coagulation status?
[A] Normal PT and aPTT
[B] Prolonged PT and aPTT
[C] Low platelet count
[D] Elevated D-dimer
Correct Answer: B.
Rationale: Advanced Assessment & Diagnostic Reasoning requires critical evaluation of laboratory values to determine
coagulation status. A prolonged PT and aPTT would indicate a coagulopathy, whereas a normal PT and aPTT would
suggest normal coagulation. A low platelet count would indicate thrombocytopenia, and an elevated D-dimer would indicate
fibrin degradation, but these are not as specific for coagulopathy as prolonged PT and aPTT.
QUESTION 2
In the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which of the following is the most
accurate indicator of a clot?
[A] Elevated D-dimer
[B] Ultrasound findings
[C] Physical examination
[D] Patient history
Correct Answer: B.
Rationale: Advanced Assessment & Diagnostic Reasoning requires the ability to evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic
indicators. Ultrasound findings, such as a non-compressible vein, are the most accurate indicator of a clot, whereas an
elevated D-dimer is nonspecific and can be elevated in many conditions. Physical examination and patient history may
suggest DVT, but are not as accurate as ultrasound findings.

QUESTION 3
A patient with a suspected coagulopathy is being evaluated for a possible bleeding
disorder. Which of the following laboratory values would be most indicative of a
primary hemostasis disorder?
[A] Prolonged PT and aPTT
[B] Normal PT and aPTT
[C] Platelet plug formation abnormality
[D] Elevated D-dimer
Correct Answer: C.
Rationale: Advanced Assessment & Diagnostic Reasoning requires critical evaluation of laboratory values to determine the
presence of a primary hemostasis disorder. A platelet plug formation abnormality would indicate a defect in primary
hemostasis, whereas a prolonged PT and aPTT would indicate a coagulation factor deficiency, and an elevated Ddimer
would indicate fibrin degradation.
QUESTION 4
A patient with a history of recent surgery is being evaluated for a suspected
coagulopathy. Which of the following interventions would be most effective in treating
the underlying coagulopathy?
[A] Administering platelets
[B] Administering coagulation factors
[C] Administering fibrinogen
[D] Maintaining a stable blood pressure
Correct Answer: C.
Rationale: Advanced Assessment & Diagnostic Reasoning requires the ability to evaluate the most effective interventions
for a suspected coagulopathy. Administering fibrinogen would be the most effective intervention in treating the underlying
coagulopathy, whereas administering platelets, coagulation factors, or maintaining a stable blood pressure may be helpful,
but are not as effective.
