A 67-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital on November 4 and discharged on November 18. What's the patient's length of stay?
Is the answer to this question:
A. 13
B. 15
C. 18
D. 20
It's simple math. What do YOU THINK?
The answer is 15 days
To determine the length of stay for the patient, we need to calculate the number of days between the admission date and the discharge date.
The patient was admitted on November 4 and discharged on November 18. To calculate the length of stay, we subtract the admission date from the discharge date.
November 18 - November 4 = 14
Therefore, the patient's length of stay is 14 days.
