Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Aspirin inactivates the enzyme cyclooxygenase, blocking thromboxane A2 production and causing impairment of platelet function (called aspirin effect). Thromboxane A2 causes Ca+2 to be released and promotes platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because the two affected children are in the same family, this is most likely congenital. Recurrent, chronic bruising in multiple sites, along with long-lasting epistaxis and minor bleeding after dental work, make this generalized and systemic rather than localized and anatomic.
