Questions # 31:

A facility manager is reviewing the following bids received for mowing services:

Vendor 1 - $25,000 annually

Vendor 2 - $970.00 per mowing at 30 mowings per year

Vendor 3 - $950.00 per mowing at 26 mowings per year

Vendor 4 - $2,100 per month

Which vendor is the least expensive?

Options:

Answer

Explanation

Calculation:

Vendor 1 = $25,000 annually

Vendor 2 = $970 × 30 = $29,100 annually

Vendor 3 = $950 × 26 = $24,700 annually

Vendor 4 = $2,100 × 12 = $25,200 annually

Least expensive = Vendor 3 ($24,700).

Questions # 32:

The initial cost of installing a building automation system is primarily a function of the

Options:

gross sq. ft. of the facility.

specific vendor selected.

technology employed within the system.

number of data points monitored or controlled.

Answer

Explanation

Building automation system (BAS) costs are based largely on the number of control points (sensors, outputs, and monitored parameters) that must be integrated. The cost is driven by how many signals must be tracked, rather than just the square footage or vendor.

A: Gross square footage can influence scope, but cost scales with monitored points.

B: Vendor may affect pricing, but primary cost driver is point count.

C: Technology choice matters, but the quantity of control points is more significant.

Questions # 33:

Fire doors used within a means of egress shall be

Options:

magnetically held open and labeled.

metal with vision panels.

self-closing and positive latching.

self-closing and smoke tight.

Answer

Explanation

NFPA 80 (Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) both require that fire doors in a means of egress must be self-closing and equipped with a positive-latching device. This ensures that the door will automatically return to the closed position and latch securely to prevent fire and smoke from spreading through the egress path.

A: Doors can be held open magnetically only when connected to the fire alarm system, but the essential code requirement is positive latching.

B: Materials and vision panels are not universal requirements.

D: Smoke-tight doors are required in smoke barriers, not all egress fire doors.

Questions # 34:

An emergency generator consumes 25 gallons of fuel per hour at peak load. The same hospital uses a boiler that consumes 35 gallons of fuel per hour. What capacity fuel tank is needed to operate both for 72 hours?

Options:

1,800 gallons

2,520 gallons

3,600 gallons

4,320 gallons

Answer

Explanation

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.

Questions # 35:

A liquid oxygen tank has the chart shown below attached to the side of the tank:

Question # 35

At 107 in. = 234,480 cu. ft. (from chart)

Hospital usage = 15,000 cu. ft./day

How many days of oxygen are left in the tank?

Options:

Answer

Answer:

B (15 days)

Explanation

Calculation:

234,480 ÷ 15,000 = 15.63 days → ≈ 15 days supply available.
