To determine the hospital census for January 5th, we need to consider the changes in the number of patients due to admissions and discharges.
According to the data given, there were 10 admissions and 2 discharges.
To find the hospital census for January 5th, we can use the following formula:
Census on January 5th = Census on January 4th + Admissions - Discharges
Given that the hospital census on January 4th was 110, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Census on January 5th = 110 + 10 - 2
Census on January 5th = 118
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. 118.
