Rationale: Routine screening tests include a complete blood count, coagulation studies, and se-rum electrolyte and creatinine levels. The complete blood count includes the hemoglobin analysis. All these values are within normal range except the hemoglobin. If a client has a low hemoglobin level, the surgery could likely be postponed by the surgeon.
