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, you need to consider the number of patients who were admitted, discharged, and the total number of inpatients on that day.
Given the information provided:
- Admissions: 10 patients were admitted on December 4.
- Discharges: 2 patients were discharged on December 4.
- A & D: 1 represents the number of patients who were admitted and discharged on the same day.
To calculate the total inpatient service days for December 5, you need to subtract the number of discharges from the number of admissions to determine the number of inpatients remaining on December 5.
Number of inpatients remaining = Admissions - Discharges + A & D
= 10 - 2 + 1
= 9
Therefore, the total inpatient service days for December 5 would be 9.
Considering the answer choices provided:
A. 90 - This does not match the calculated value.
B. 109 - This does not match the calculated value.
C. 100 - This does not match the calculated value.
D. 110 - This does not match the calculated value.
Based on the calculations, none of the answer choices provided in the question match the calculated value of 9. Therefore, none of the options provided would be the correct answer.
