Which of the following is a characteristic feature of hemophilia?

Prolonged bleeding or easy bruising

Excessive blood clotting

Increased platelet count

Delayed wound healing

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A.   Prolonged bleeding or easy bruising is a characteristic feature of hemophilia, a genetic
disorder characterized by deficient or defective blood clotting proteins, leading to impaired blood clotting and prolonged bleeding after injury or trauma.
B.   Excessive blood clotting is not a characteristic feature of hemophilia; rather, it is the opposite.
Hemophilia is characterized by a deficiency in clotting factors, which results in impaired clot formation.
C.   Hemophilia does not typically result in increased platelet count. Platelets are involved in the initial stages of blood clotting, but hemophilia primarily affects clotting factor proteins.
D.   Delayed wound healing is not a characteristic feature of hemophilia. Hemophilia primarily affects blood clotting, leading to prolonged bleeding, but it does not directly affect wound
healing processes.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Syphilis can indeed affect many areas of the body, including the brain and heart, but this statement does not specifically address primary syphilis, which is characterized by the appearance of a painless sore (chancre) at the site of infection.
B. Syphilis does not typically resolve on its own. Without treatment, the infection can progress to more severe stages with potentially serious complications.
C. Syphilis is caused by a bacterial infection (Treponema pallidum) and is treated with antibiotics such as penicillin. Antiviral medications are not effective against bacterial infections like syphilis.
D. This statement is accurate and important for the prevention of syphilis transmission. Syphilis can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, but the risk of transmission is lower during oral sex compared to vaginal or anal intercourse.

A. "Clumping of abnormal red blood cells blocks the flow of blood through the capillaries." B. "Bleeding in the joints occurs because red blood cells are being rapidly destroyed by the bone marrow." C. "The pain is due to a disturbance in cellular metabolism." D. "The bone marrow is expanding with the sickled cells and that causes pain."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. This response accurately describes the pathophysiology of sickle cell crisis. During a crisis, sickled red blood cells clump together, leading to microvascular occlusion and impaired blood flow to tissues, resulting in pain.
B. Bleeding in the joints is not a characteristic feature of sickle cell crisis. It may occur in other conditions such as hemophilia or osteoarthritis but not in sickle cell crisis.
C. Disturbance in cellular metabolism is not the primary mechanism underlying the pain experienced during sickle cell crisis.
D. Bone marrow expansion with sickled cells may contribute to bone pain in sickle cell disease, but it is not the primary cause of pain during a sickle cell crisis.
