After initial stabilization and assessment, what is the most appropriate management step? A. Urgent hematology-oncology pathway B. Risk-adapted transfusion strategy C. Treat trigger and support coagulation in DIC D. Stop heparin and start non-heparin anticoagulation E.

Relevant risk context includes malabsorption. What is the most likely diagnosis? A. Disseminated intravascular coagulation B. Immune thrombocytopenia C. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia D. Acute leukemia E. Iron deficiency anemia Show Answer & Explanation Correct Answer: A Explanation: The pattern of platelet drop with new thrombosis with risk factors such as malabsorption is most consistent with Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
