The answer is the first one: Hemoglobin.

Explanation for each option:

  • Hemoglobin: This is the correct test to confirm a diagnosis of anemia. Anemia is typically characterized by a low hemoglobin level, which indicates a reduced capacity of the blood to carry oxygen.

  • Glucose: This test measures the level of sugar in the blood and is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes, not anemia.

  • Calcium: This test measures the level of calcium in the blood and is used to assess bone health, parathyroid function, and other conditions, but it is not related to anemia.

  • PT/INR: This test measures how long it takes blood to clot and is used to monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy, such as warfarin, but it is not used to diagnose anemia.

In summary, the hemoglobin test is the appropriate laboratory test to confirm a diagnosis of anemia.
