A patient’s cost for a hospital stay is determined as follows:
Admission = $50
Room charge:
first night: $1000
nights 2-4: $1500 per night
night 5 and beyond: $2000 per night
Surgery: $8500 per surgeon, plus $3000 for an anesthesiologist
(a) What would be the cost of a three-night stay, with a surgery involving two surgeons?
(b) What would be the cost of a week-long stay, with a surgery involving three surgeons and
an anesthesiologist?
(a) 50 + 1000 + 2(1500) + 2(8500) + 3000 = ?
I am assuming that the patient needed an anesthesiologist.
(b) Go through the same process.
To calculate the cost of the scenarios described, we'll break down the costs step by step.
(a) Cost of a three-night stay with a surgery involving two surgeons:
1. Admission cost: $50
2. Room charge for the first night: $1000
3. Room charge for nights 2-4: $1500 per night x 2 nights = $3000
4. Surgery cost: $8500 per surgeon x 2 surgeons = $17000
Total cost = Admission cost + Room charges + Surgery cost
= $50 + $1000 + $3000 + $17000
= $21150
Therefore, the cost of a three-night stay with a surgery involving two surgeons would be $21,150.
(b) Cost of a week-long stay with a surgery involving three surgeons and an anesthesiologist:
1. Admission cost: $50
2. Room charge for the first night: $1000
3. Room charge for nights 2-4: $1500 per night x 3 nights = $4500
4. Room charge for nights 5 and beyond: $2000 per night x (7-4) nights = $6000
5. Surgery cost: $8500 per surgeon x 3 surgeons = $25500
6. Anesthesiologist cost: $3000
Total cost = Admission cost + Room charges + Surgery cost + Anesthesiologist cost
= $50 + $1000 + $4500 + $6000 + $25500 + $3000
= $41150
Therefore, the cost of a week-long stay with a surgery involving three surgeons and an anesthesiologist would be $41,150.
