[Answered]: A 54-year-old male patient, Mr

A 54-year-old male patient, Mr. Johnson, is admitted to the hospital for a scheduled knee replacement surgery. He has no significant medical history and reports no previous blood transfusions. His pre-operative hemoglobin level is 10.2 g/dL, slightly lower than the normal range. The surgical team anticipates the possibility of needing a blood transfusion during the procedure, so a Type and Screen is ordered.
