Question 39

A new Health Information Department has purchased 200 units of 6-shelf files and plants to implement a terminal digit filing system. How many shelves should be allocated to each primary number?

    Correct Answer: D

    There are 200 units of 6-shelf files, which makes a total of 1200 shelves (200 units * 6 shelves/unit). In a terminal digit filing system, numbers are grouped in primary sections typically ranging from 00 to 99, resulting in 100 primary sections. To determine how many shelves should be allocated to each primary number, we divide the total number of shelves by the number of primary sections: 1200 shelves / 100 primary sections = 12 shelves per primary number.
