Answer to Question 1

Answer: A thrombus is an initial formation of a clot. When a piece of thrombotic material breaks off, it becomes an embolus. The clot (embolus) can travel through the circulatory system, deposit anywhere in the body, and obstruct blood flow. This is called a thromboembolus.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The INR is calculated by taking the patient's prothrombin time over the normal PT second raised to the power of the ISI. The ISI is a numerical value assigned to every lot of thromboplastin. The presence of both these factors standardizes the PT time.
