2: Employ diagnostic laboratory testing to evaluate a patient’s anemia and determine its underlying cause.
3: Prescribe appropriate therapy for anemia after the cause has been identified.
4: Determine whether a patient should be screened for HIV infection.
5: Counsel patients who test positive for HIV about reducing their risk for transmission of the virus.
