Hutchinson revised a questionnaire originally written by Rappaport. Reviewing these questions with each patient or parent will identify many bleeding disorders.
		n Has the patient ever bled for a prolonged period of time after biting the tongue, cheek, or lip? n Does the patient develop spontaneous bruises larger than 4 to 5 cm in diameter? n Has the patient experienced prolonged bleeding following minor surgical procedures such as circumcision, skin biopsies, or dental extractions? Has bleeding recurred 24 hours after the cessation of hemorrhage? n What medications has the patient been taking during the last 10 days? Has the patient ingested any antiplatelet agents such as aspirin? n Does the patient have any blood relatives with any known bleeding disorder? Have any other these relatives had prolonged bleeding requiring the use of blood transfusions? n Does the patient have any systemic medical disorders that might result in excessive bleeding (Lupus, liver or renal disease)?
