Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aspirin may induce a platelet disorder. Even small amounts of aspirin reduce normal platelet aggregation, and the prolonged bleeding time lasts for several days after aspirin ingestion. Calcium, vitamin $\mathrm{D}$, and vitamin $\mathrm{B}_{12}$ do not have the potential to induce a platelet defect.
