Question 2: The hospital infections rate is:
TO CALCULATE INFECTION RATE IN HOSPITAL
Nosocomial infections are the hospital-acquired infections.
Hence to calculate the hospital infection rate we have to calculate the nosocomial infection rate.
Infection rate = Total number of nosocomial infections for adult and children Total number of discharges for adults and children 100
Here, Total number of nosocomial infections = 12
Total number of discharges = 10,810
Infection rate = 12 10,810 100
=0.11%
Therefore, The hospital infection rate = 0.11%
