AHA CHFM Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

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.

Per NFPA 101: Life Safety Code, soiled linen and trash containers greater than 32 gallons are not permitted in patient rooms or at nurse stations. Containers larger than this must be located in designated hazardous areas with proper fire protection.

C. 32 gal. (Correct).

Smaller values (8, 16) are permissible but not the regulatory maximum.

D. 64 gal.: Exceeds NFPA maximum and requires special room design.

Predictive maintenance involves techniques that monitor the condition of equipment to anticipate failure before it occurs. Common predictive techniques include:

Vibration monitoring (1) – Detects imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.

Oil analysis (2) – Identifies contamination, wear particles, or breakdown in lubricants.

Ultrasound (4) – Detects leaks, arcing, and mechanical friction.

PM frequency analysis (3) is part of preventive maintenance, not predictive maintenance.
