Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The plasma from patients with a factor XIII deficiency forms weak clots that dissolve within 2 hours when suspended in a 5M urea solution because the clot has not been cross-linked by XIIIa.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Factor VII deficiency shows a prolonged PT with a normal PTT result. A deficiency of fibrinogen ideally should prolong the PT, PTT, and TT. Factor VIII deficiency prolongs the PTT but not the PT and TT, whereas a factor X deficiency should prolong both the PT and PTT but not the TT.
