Your 55 year old male patient is to be evaluated this morning.  He had abdominal surgery two days ago.  Upon chart review, you note his lab values.  His hematocrit is 36% and his hemoglobin is 12 g/dl.  Clinically, how would these values impact the patient’s ability to participate in an exercise program?
