Answer 2

Answer:

Bleeding time is a test done to determine and assess platelet function.

Explanation:

Bleeding time should be less than clotting time. This is because, if it takes the body too much time to clot, then a lot of blood will be lost before the wound can be sealed. Clotting helps prevent infections to the cut and also prevents too much blood loss. Thus, if a person's clotting time is more, that means their platelet functioning is low, as clots are produced by platelets
