Answer 1

To calculate the Bassinet occupancy percentage for March, add the number of admissions, discharges, and deaths and divide by the number of days. Then divide this average daily occupancy by the total bed count and multiply by 100 to get the occupancy percentage. The Bassinet occupancy percentage for March is approximately 37.74%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the Bassinet occupancy percentage for March, we need to determine the average number of beds occupied per day and divide it by the total number of beds available in the month.

First, calculate the average daily occupancy by adding the number of admissions, discharges, and deaths, and then dividing it by the number of days in March: ((105 + 57 + 47) - (104 + 55 + 46) + (5 + 1 + 2)) / 31.

Next, divide the average daily occupancy by the total bed count for the month (80) and multiply by 100 to get the occupancy percentage.

The Bassinet occupancy percentage for March is approximately 37.74%.
