Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease; not classic hemophilia. Thalassemia is not a clotting disorder. von Willebrand disease is a factor VIII disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A decreased platelet count is the cause of ITP. Neither leukemia, thalassemia, nor hemophilia is related to platelets.
