Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Thrombolytics do not convert plasmin to plasminogen.
Rationale 2: Thrombolytics do not prevent the liver from making fibrin.
Rationale 3: Anticoagulants, not thrombolytics, prevent the formation of a clot.
Rationale 4: Thrombolytics break up the clot.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Antiplatelet drugs alter plasma and platelet aggregation.
Rationale 2: Thrombolytics convert plasminogen to plasmin.
Rationale 3: Hemostats prevent fibrin from dissolving.
Rationale 4: Anticoagulants inhibit the specific clotting factors and interfere with clotting cascade, and thereby prevent clots.
