CHFM Dumps with Practice Exam Questions Answers

All construction and renovation projects in healthcare must include Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA). Infection Control professionals assess potential risks such as dust, ventilation disruptions, and waterborne hazards during construction. They ensure patient safety through control measures (barriers, negative pressure, monitoring).

D. Infection Control (Correct): Mandatory involvement in construction planning.

A. IT / B. Biomed / C. Patient Services: May participate but are not mandated by TJC and CDC requirements for ICRA.

Step 1: Calculate utility cost per square foot.

$1,200,000 ÷ 500,000 sq. ft. = $2.40 per sq. ft.

Step 2: Calculate new total square footage.

500,000 + 100,000 = 600,000 sq. ft.

Step 3: Projected utility cost.

600,000 × $2.40 = $1,440,000

Thus, the anticipated utility budget after expansion is $1,440,000.

A medical equipment management plan must include:

Problem/failure/user error data collection for trending and corrective action.

Performance standards to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Annual review of the plan to maintain compliance and effectiveness.

A computerized inventory system is a useful tool but not mandated by The Joint Commission or CMS; paper-based systems may still be acceptable if compliant.

According to NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and CMS/TJC corridor obstruction guidance, only certain items deemed essential for immediate patient care may be left unattended in inpatient care corridors. Crash carts are specifically allowed because they are emergency life-saving equipment. Other items, such as hampers, WOWs, and bins, are considered obstructions and must be removed when not in active use.

Fuel requirements for emergency systems are determined by calculating total consumption per hour multiplied by the required operating duration.

Generator: 25 gallons/hour

Boiler: 35 gallons/hour

Total consumption per hour = 25 + 35 = 60 gallons/hour

For 72 hours: 60 × 72 = 4,320 gallons

Therefore, the fuel tank must have at least 4,320 gallons capacity to meet the 72-hour requirement.

Correct Answer (D. 4,320 gallons).

Other options are underestimations of total combined consumption and would not meet compliance with CMS and NFPA 110 standards, which require hospitals to maintain a 72-hour supply of fuel for emergency power and critical operations.
