Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients with Bernard-Soulier syndrome have deficient glycoprotein Ib/IX/V receptors on their surface. This is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder; heterozygotes are normal or near normal, but homozygotes have (usually) a low platelet count, prolonged bleeding time, and enlarged platelets. Aggregation is normal with all agonists except ristocetin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Patients with essential thrombocythemia have platelet dysfunction and may either bleed or experience thrombosis.
