The most important information for the nurse to convey to the surgeon before transporting a 9-week-old infant to the surgical suite for a cleft lip repair is that the infant has a red blood cell count of 2.3 cell/mcl or (2.3 x 10/L). This is a low red blood cell count and can indicate anemia, which can increase the risk of complications during surgery. The surgeon should be informed of this finding so that appropriate measures can be taken to manage the infant's anemia and reduce the risk of complications. The other options (A, B, and D) are not as important in this situation.
