Create a non leading multiple choice answer type physician query for the following scenario.
A 79-year-old female, Mrs. Carmichael, is admitted on June 15, 2015, with a right hip fracture. Her hospital stay is 3 days long. Prior to surgery, her attending physician, Dr. Fellows, orders blood work to check her hemoglobin and hematocrit levels because she is borderline anemic.

The physician orders a blood transfusion of 3 units of packed red cells. In the discharge summary, the physician only notes anemia, along with the patient’s hip fracture.
