NEW QUESTION # 39
Which of the following represents the average power consumed by a single-phase electric motor?
- A. kW x PF / 1,000
- B. KVA / PF
- C. KVA x PF
- D. amps / PF
Answer: C
Explanation:
For electrical systems, real power (kW) is obtained by multiplying apparent power (kVA) by the power factor (PF):
kW = kVA × PF
This formula gives the average power consumed by a single-phase motor.
C). KVA × PF (Correct): Standard power equation for real power.
A). KVA / PF: Incorrect; dividing by PF would increase kVA, not convert to kW.
B). kW × PF / 1,000: Incorrect; kW already accounts for PF, and the division by 1,000 is irrelevant here.
D). amps / PF: Incomplete and not dimensionally correct.

NEW QUESTION # 40
When more than one employee works on equipment that must be locked-out in accordance with OSHA regulations, which of the following is an acceptable procedure to follow?
- A. Utilize a multiple lockout device on the cabinet and place one commonly keyed lock on the multiple lockout device for each employee.
- B. Utilize a single lock on the energy-isolating device and provide each employee with a copy of the key to the lock.
- C. Utilize a single lock and apply a tag to the energy-isolating device with the name of each employee listed.
- D. Utilize a multiple lockout device that allows each individual working on the equipment to apply a personal lock on the energy-isolating device.
Answer: D
Explanation:
OSHA's Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard, 29 CFR 1910.147, requires that each authorized employee shall affix a personal lockout device to the energy-isolating device when they are working on equipment. This ensures that energy cannot be restored until every individual has removed their own lock, thereby directly protecting each worker.
Correct (D): The standard explicitly describes the use of a multiple lockout device (commonly called a hasp), where each employee applies their own personal lock. No lock may be removed until the individual's work is complete.
Incorrect Options:
A: Listing multiple names on a single lock/tag does not meet OSHA's requirement for individual control.
B: Providing multiple keys to a single lock defeats the purpose of individual energy control and is not compliant.
C: Commonly keyed locks are prohibited because one employee could remove another's lock.
Relevance to CHFM Exam (Compliance Domain):
The CHFM exam tests knowledge of OSHA workplace safety standards because healthcare facility managers must ensure compliance in utility and maintenance operations. Proper lockout/tagout procedures are critical for worker safety and regulatory adherence.

How many emergency management disaster drills are required per year in a healthcare occupancy?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Federal and accreditor requirements establish two emergency exercises per year for hospitals: one full-scale community-based (or facility-based if community-based is not available) and a second exercise (which may be a second full-scale or an exercise such as a tabletop). Real events may be used to meet one of the required exercises when criteria are met.

NFPA 25 (2011) requires sprinkler system fire pumps to be tested in a flow condition at what frequency?
- A. monthly
- B. annually
- C. weekly
- D. quarterly
Answer: B
Explanation:
NFPA 25 (2011), Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, specifies that a fire pump flow test must be performed annually. This ensures that the pump delivers adequate flow and pressure under actual operating conditions. Weekly no-flow (churn) tests are also required, but full-flow condition testing is mandated at least once per year.
Reference: NFPA 25 (2011), Section 8.3.3.
NEW QUESTION # 47
Which of the following must be considered at the schematic design stage?
- A. egress requirements
- B. lighting fixtures
- C. equipment specifications
- D. general conditions
Answer: A
Explanation:
In the schematic design phase, the design team establishes overall building configuration, circulation, and code-driven life safety concepts, including means of egress. Life Safety Code requirements (occupant loads, exit access, number and arrangement of exits, travel distances) are fundamental constraints that shape the plan early; they must be set before moving into design development where specific fixtures and detailed equipment specifications are finalized. Contract "general conditions" are part of procurement/contract documents later, not schematic design.

NEW QUESTION # 48
Regulated medical waste should be handled in which of the following ways?
- A. separated from other types of waste
- B. incinerated within 10 days of collection
- C. labeled with specific content
- D. refrigerated at 40° F
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to federal and state healthcare waste management standards, regulated medical waste must always be separated from general waste streams at the point of generation. Proper segregation ensures compliance with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and The Joint Commission's Environment of Care standards. Containers for regulated waste must be red, leak- resistant, and labeled with the universal biohazard symbol.
Correct Answer (D. separated from other types of waste): CHFM compliance and Environment of Care standards require that infectious or hazardous medical waste be physically separated to prevent cross- contamination and maintain compliance with infection control protocols.
A (labeled with specific content): While containers must be labeled, they do not list specific contents; only the biohazard designation is required.
B (refrigerated at 40°F): Refrigeration applies only in specific storage conditions, not universally required for all regulated medical waste.
C (incinerated within 10 days): Time requirements vary by jurisdiction; incineration within 10 days is not a universal federal mandate.

NEW QUESTION # 49
To minimize the number of change orders, it is best to have
- A. multiple prequalified bidders.
- B. a builder's insurance policy and performance bond.
- C. complete plans and specifications.
- D. a qualified construction manager and subcontractors.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The primary cause of change orders is incomplete or unclear plans and specifications. Ensuring that drawings and specs are fully developed before bidding reduces ambiguity, scope gaps, and the likelihood of modifications during construction.
A (Correct): Complete plans/specs = fewer change orders.
B: Bonds/policies protect financially but do not reduce change orders.
C: Prequalification ensures capable bidders but doesn't eliminate scope issues.
D: Competent managers/subcontractors help but cannot offset incomplete design docs.
Reference: CHFM Handbook - Planning, Design, and Construction domain.
NEW QUESTION # 50
Construction and/or renovation project submittals and shop drawings are reviewed to ensure
- A. code compliance.
- B. the project has minimal change orders.
- C. the contractor understands the intent of the specifications.
- D. compliance with plans and specifications.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Submittals and shop drawings are specifically reviewed to ensure compliance with the design intent, plans, and specifications prepared by the architect/engineer. Code compliance is established during design and permitting, while minimizing change orders or ensuring contractor understanding are indirect benefits.

NEW QUESTION # 51
A diesel emergency generator is rated at 500 KVA. When the generator is tested, the load on it is 220 KVA.
According to the NFPA, the MINIMUM testing requirements are to run the unit
- A. annually with supplemental loads for 2 hours.
- B. monthly until the water temperature and oil pressure have stabilized.
- C. annually with supplemental loads for 30 minutes.
- D. monthly under load for 30 minutes.
Answer: B
Explanation:
NFPA 110 (Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems) requires that emergency generators be tested monthly under load. If the available load is less than 30% of the generator's nameplate rating, the test may be conducted until operating parameters (water temperature, oil pressure) stabilize. For longer durations, supplemental loading or load bank testing applies, but the minimum standard is monthly operation until systems stabilize.
Reference: NFPA 110 (2010), Section 8.4.2.
NEW QUESTION # 52
In which type of boiler do the gases of combustion pass through tubes surrounded by water?
- A. water tube
- B. vertical tube
- C. cast iron sectional
- D. fire tube
Answer: D
Explanation:
In a fire tube boiler, hot gases of combustion pass through tubes, and water surrounds those tubes, absorbing the heat to create steam or hot water.
Correct: Fire tube (B) - Gases inside tubes, water outside.
Incorrect:
A). Water tube - The reverse: water flows inside the tubes, combustion gases surround them.
C). Vertical tube - Refers to orientation but still a water-tube or fire-tube design.
D). Cast iron sectional - Built from joined cast iron sections, not tubular gas-through-water design.
