Which of these populations are at increased risk of internal and external hemorrhage?

Chronic alcoholics
Cancer patients
Hemophiliacs
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: D- Chronic alcoholics, cancer patients, and hemophiliacs are all a high-risk category for bleeding and hemorrhage.

Chronic alcoholics have weakened GI tract linings and may have liver damage, which affects the body’s ability to produce clots. Cancer patients, likewise, may have a reduced ability to clot. Hemophilia is a clotting disorder by definition.

Other at risk populations include those on blood thinners, the very young and very old.
