Q9) A patient arrives at an emergency room and must go through two tasks before he can either see a physician or be seated and wait to be called and taken to a room for treatment. The first step is triage where his vital signs are taken, and the severity of his problem is assessed by a triage nurse. If a patient is considered to have a minor problem or require acute care, he is directed to the check-in desk where his contact information and health insurance are verified, and where a co-payment is typically collected. Triage requires 15 minutes per patient and check-in requires 5 minutes per patient. The emergency room is open 24 hours per day. How many patients can be processed at this initial stage of an emergency room visit in a 24-hour day?
| a. | 1.2 patients per day | |
| b. | 1.6 patients per day | |
| c. | 72 patients per day | |
| d. | 96patients per day |
