According to a December 4 hospital census of 100, what are the total inpatient service days for December 5?
Admissions 10
Discharges 2
A & D 1
A. 90 C. 100
B. 109 D. 110
Total inpatient service days are the total number of services received by all inpatients on each day in a period (which is also the same number as the daily inpatient census).
So my answer is C, is that right? Thx a lot for y'all help.
To calculate the total inpatient service days for December 5, we need to consider the number of admissions, discharges, and the December 4 hospital census.
Here's the breakdown:
- Admissions: 10
- Discharges: 2
- A&D (admitted and discharged on the same day): 1
To calculate the total inpatient service days, we need to subtract the discharges from the December 4 census and then add the admissions and A&D patients.
December 4 census: 100
Subtract discharges: 100 - 2 = 98
Add admissions: 98 + 10 = 108
Add A&D: 108 + 1 = 109
Therefore, the total inpatient service days for December 5 would be 109.
So your answer of B (109) is correct.
