A) Mononucleosis
B) Malaria
C) Polycythemia
D) Crone's disease

Answer 1

Malaria

Question 2

____ is a condition in which there is an overactivation of both the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems.

A) Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
B) Dysfunctional platelet syndrome
C) Disseminated intravascular coagulation
D) Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Answer 2

Disseminated intravascular coagulation

Question 3

HUS typically affects children 6 years old to 10 years old.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

____ is similar to TTP in that platelets clumping in the small blood vessels in the kidney cause localized ischemia within the kidney as well as a hemolytic anemia as the red blood cells have difficulty passing through the smaller blood vessels.

A) HEELP
B) Disseminated intravascular coagulation
C) Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
D) Hemolytic uremic syndrome

Question 5

The problem with polycythemia is that the viscosity, or thickness, of the blood is decreased.

Question 6

____ is a condition in adults in which platelets clump together and partially occlude the small blood vessels.

A) Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
B) Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
C) Disseminated intravascular coagulation
D) HEELP

Question 7

The process of primary hemostasis depends on the interaction between the innermost layer of cells in the lining of the blood vessel and circulating platelets in the blood.

Question 8

____ is a form of hemoglobin that is not able to carry oxygen.

A) Polycythemia
B) Methemoglobinemia
C) Sickle cell anemia
D) Congenital hemolytic anemias

Question 9

____ is defined as an increased amount of circulating solid blood components.

A) Polycythemia
B) Methemoglobinemia
C) Congenital hemolytic anemia
D) Sickle cell anemia

Question 10

A patient can develop a hemolytic anemia as a result of _____ damage to the red blood cells.

A) chemical
B) neurological
C) systemic
D) mechanical

Question 11

A) Primary hemostasis
B) Secondary hemostasis
C) Coagulation therapy
D) Coagulopathy

Question 12

A patient can develop a hemolytic anemia as a result of mechanical damage to the red blood cells.

Question 13

____ is a syndrome that is associated with preeclampsia, a complication of pregnancy that is associated with hemolytic anemia.

A) Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
B) Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
C) HEELP

A(n) ____ occurs when the person develops antibodies to red blood cells after an exposure to another individual's red blood cells.

A) disseminated intravascular coagulation
B) alloimmune hemolytic anemia
C) congenital hemolytic anemia
D) immune-mediated hemolytic anemia

Question 15

The goal of ____ is to strengthen the clot plug in the damaged vessel to ensure that it is not dislodged.

A) secondary hemostasis
B) primary hemostasis
C) coagulation cascade
D) coagulopathy

Question 16

Patients who have a history of hemophilia or von Willebrand disease and sustain minor trauma should be transported to a trauma center unless the distance is prohibitive.

Question 17

____ involves bleeding into larger joints.

A) Hemarthrosis
B) Hemophilla
C) Petechiae
D) Anaphylaxis

Question 22

Relative polycythemia can occur if the patient is ____________________.

Question 23

Patients who were on either heparin or a low molecular weight heparin medication may have developed delayed heparin-induced ____________________.
