Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: Thrombin (Evithrom) is a topical drug to prevent minor oozing and bleeding from surgical sites.
Rationale 2: Warfarin (Coumadin) is an oral anticoagulant that can prolong bleeding time and prevent thrombi from forming or growing larger.
Rationale 3:Enoxaparin (Lovenox) is a low molecular weightanticoagulant to prevent thrombi production.
Rationale 4:Aspirin is an antiplatelet that interferes with platelet aggregation.

Global Rationale: Hemostatics, also called antifibrinolytics, shorten bleeding time. They are used to prevent and treat excessive bleeding following surgical procedures. Thrombin (Evithrom) is a topical drug to prevent minor oozing and bleeding from surgical sites.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1: Colony stimulating factors are substances that stimulate the production of white blood cells.
Rationale 2:Hematopoieticgrowth factors stimulate the production of blood cells: red, white, and platelets.
Rationale 3:Anticoagulants prevent the formation and enlargement of clots.
Rationale 4:Hemostatics are used to promote the formation of clots.

Global Rationale: The body secretes hematopoietic growth factors to boost blood cell production. The HGFs can boost the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets in patients.
