A nurse is assessing a client with suspected anemia. Which laboratory test is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis of anemia?

Correct Answer: B

A) This choice is incorrect because an electrocardiogram (ECG) is not a diagnostic test for anemia. It is used to assess heart function.

B) This choice is correct. A complete blood count (CBC) is the primary diagnostic test used to confirm the presence of anemia. It provides information about red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, and other parameters related to blood cell characteristics.

C) This choice is incorrect because serum creatinine is used to assess kidney function, not to diagnose anemia.

D) This choice is incorrect because a urinalysis is not a diagnostic test for anemia. It is used to assess kidney function and urinary tract health.
