The admissions and dispositions report provides a daily record of which items?

• A. Dispositions and Transfers Only
• B. Admissions, Dispositions, and Newborns Only
• C. Admissions, Dispositions, Change of Status, Newborns, and Interward Transfers
• D. Dispositions, Newborns, and Interward Transfers

Answer: (C)

Understanding what a daily admissions and dispositions report records is being tested. This report should capture every movement and status change affecting bed occupancy in a single day. It includes new admissions, the dispositions of patients (where they go after care), any change of status events, newborns added to care, and transfers between wards. Having all these elements in one daily record gives an accurate snapshot of how patients are flowing through the hospital and how beds are being utilized.

Other options miss one or more of these essential categories. They might omit admissions altogether, or leave out changes of status, newborns, or interward transfers, which would fail to reflect the full scope of daily patient movement and status changes.
