Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
High fibrinogen levels have a positive correlation to relative risk of myocardial cardiovascular risk, especially in patients with angina pectoris. Care must be taken in evaluating patients because fibrinogen is an acute phase reactant and increases under stress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Activated protein C resistance, also known as factor V Leiden, occurs in 3 to 8 of whites. Antithrombin and activated protein C deficiencies are more rare. DIC is much more common, but it is acquired, not congenital.
