A 57 year-old male client has hemoglobin of 10 mg/dl and a hematocrit of 32%. What would be the most appropriate followup by the home care nurse?

  • Tell the client to schedule an appointment with a hematologist

  • Tell the client to call an ambulance and go to the emergency department immediately

  • Schedule a repeat Hemoglobin and Hematocrit in 1 month

  • Ask the client if he has noticed any bleeding or dark stools
