Question

Sophia has been asked to schedule a hip replacement surgery for a patient. what type of hospitalization will this be?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Planned hospitalization.

This is the type of hospitalization when the patient and the doctor have enough time to plan the admission to the hospital. Planned hospitalization is the opposite of emergency hospitalization. Because doctors need to study patient's medical history and perform necessary medical laboratory tests the whole process of planned hospitalization sometimes can last longer than 24 hours.
