Question 7

Ten patients were discharged from the obstetrical service on May 4 at Rocky Mountain Hospital. The day's stay for each patient was 3, 2, 1, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 2, and 4. What was the median day's stay for these patients?

Accepted Answer

To find the median, we need to arrange the day's stay in ascending order: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
There are 10 patients, so the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th day's stay, which is (2+2)/2 = 2. Therefore, the median day's stay for these patients is 2. The best choice is B.

Question 16

In an 800-bed health care facility during the month of January the total inpatient days for adults were 13,500. What was the percentage of occupancy?

Accepted Answer

The percentage of occupancy is calculated by dividing the total inpatient days by the product of the number of beds and the number of days in the month, then multiplying by 100. For January, with 31 days, the calculation is (13,500 / (800 * 31)) * 100 = 54.4%.
