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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
