Good L u c k!
1. Number of patient = 21
♦ Level 1 = 8+2= 10
♦ Level 2 = 2+3= 5
♦ Level 3 = 3
♦ Level 4 = 3
2. Compute for the total NCH per level of patient care
♦ Level 1 = 10 * 1.5 = 15
♦ Level 2 = 3 * 5 = 15
♦ Level 3 = 4.5 * 3 = 13.5
♦ Level 4 = 6 * 6.3 = 18
3. Compute for the average Nursing Care hours per day = 61.5
4. Compute for the average nursing care hours per year = 22447.5
5. Find the number of nursing personnel needed by MAMC
= 22448
1824 =12.
6. Compute for the number of Relievers needed.
= 137
365 = 0.38 * 12 = 4.56
7. Get the total number of staff to be employed by MAMC = 12 + 4. 56 = 17
8. Find the ratio of Registered Nurses (number of registered nurses needed.
17 * 0.60 = 10 RNS
9. Find the ratio of Nursing Aides needed (number of nursing Aides).
17 * 0. 40 = 7 NAS
10. Distribute the number of RNs for AM, PM and NOC shift
10 * 0. 45 = 4.5 = 4 AM total 10
10 * 0. 37 = 3.7 = 4 PM
10 * 0.18 = 1.8 = 2 NOC
11. Distribute the number of NAs for AM, PM and NOC shift.
7 * 0.45 = 3 AM total 7.
7 * 0.37 = 3 PM
7 * 0.18 = 1 NOC
