Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A specific snake venom is used to activate protein C in its chromogenic assay.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A prolonged PTT that remains prolonged after an immediate repeat of the PTT on the 1:1 mix is seen in patients (either male or female subject) with the lupus anticoagulant. A patient with hemophilia A would most likely be a male subject (female hemophilia A is rare). In addition, the immediate 1:1 mix should correct, as it also would with an intrinsic factor deficiency. The PTT on an immediate 1:1 mix in the presence of a factor VIII inhibitor would also essentially correct.
