Problem: A nurse working in a prenatal clinic is evaluating the lab results of a pregnant patient at 38 weeks' gestation. Upon evaluating the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, the nurse knows that the lowest acceptable levels for a woman in her last trimester of pregnancy would be:
38% hematocrit and 14 g/dL hemoglobin.
35% hematocrit and 13 g/dL hemoglobin.
33% hematocrit and 11 g/dL hemoglobin.
30% hematocrit and 10 g/dL hemoglobin.
