Memorial hospital has a steady inpatient bed count of 150 beds that are set up and staffed, though the hospital was constructed for 175 beds. What would have been the bed count days for the year 2010?
This is a question that is lacking..when was the hospital constructed?
If your teacher gave you this question as written, seriously consider dropping the course, as it is nonsense to answer questions such as this.
Good luck.
150 X 365= 54750
To calculate the bed count days for the year 2010, we need to determine the average number of beds available at Memorial hospital throughout the entire year.
First, we need to find the total number of bed count days for each month. We can achieve this by multiplying the number of days in each month by the number of beds available.
Since Memorial hospital has a steady inpatient bed count of 150 beds, we can assume this bed count remains constant throughout the year. However, we need to account for the fact that the hospital was constructed for 175 beds.
To determine the bed count days for each month, we follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total number of bed count days for each month by multiplying the number of days in each month by the number of beds available:
January: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
February: 28 days * 150 beds = 4,200 bed count days (29 days in a leap year)
March: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
April: 30 days * 150 beds = 4,500 bed count days
May: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
June: 30 days * 150 beds = 4,500 bed count days
July: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
August: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
September: 30 days * 150 beds = 4,500 bed count days
October: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
November: 30 days * 150 beds = 4,500 bed count days
December: 31 days * 150 beds = 4,650 bed count days
2. Sum up the bed count days for each month to find the total bed count days for the year 2010:
Total bed count days = 4,650 + 4,200 + 4,650 + 4,500 + 4,650 + 4,500 + 4,650 + 4,650 + 4,500 + 4,650 + 4,500 + 4,650 =
54,000 bed count days
Therefore, the bed count days for the year 2010 at Memorial hospital would be 54,000.
