- Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding. Treatment often involves replacing the missing clotting factor VIII to prevent and treat bleeding episodes. Before surgery, a patient with hemophilia A may receive a dose of clotting factor concentrate to ensure their blood will clot properly during and after the procedure. This is why options C ("You will be given a test dose of a medication used to increase your clotting factors.") and D ("This visit is related to your hemophilia and keeping you safe during the surgery.") are correct. These responses directly address the client's condition and the reason for pre-surgical treatment.
