Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

She may be suffering from liver dysfunction lead to elevation of clotting time or prothrombin time which may recover by vit k supplementation in vitamine k deficiency. But bleeding time used to know only platelet function and von willebrand factor etc. But your not mentioned how much is the platelet count. So vit k supplementation not much useful in elevated bleeding time patients. Dose once a day IM for 3-5 days. No need to give twice. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
