the nurse analyzes the laboratory values of a child with hemophilia. the nurse understands that which result will likely be abnormal in this child?a. platelet count b. hematocrit count c. hemoglobin leveld. partial thromboplastin time
D. PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME
The correct answer is d. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a laboratory test that measures the time it takes for blood to clot. Children with hemophilia have a deficiency or absence of clotting factors, which can result in prolonged PTT as their blood takes longer to clot. Platelet count, hematocrit count, and hemoglobin level may also be affected in hemophilia but are not specific indicators of this disorder. Therefore, the likely abnormal value in a child with hemophilia is PTT.
