🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for hospital spaces on cargo vessels • How required berth capacity in a hospital space relates to crew size and whether crew have individual rooms • What other uses of the hospital space are allowed or prohibited

💭 Think About

• Compare each choice to how the regulations treat hospital space: are the rules about equipment (bathtub/shower), crew size and berths, or permitted uses? • Focus on the scenario with a crew of forty-five: what does the regulation say about how many hospital berths are needed when crew do NOT have their own rooms? • Ask yourself whether the hospital area is meant to be a medical space only, or if it can double as another kind of space such as confinement or storage when not in use.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR whether a bathtub is specifically required in a hospital space, or just washing facilities • Check the exact wording for how many hospital berths are required for a given crew size, especially when they do not have individual rooms • Confirm whether regulations allow the hospital space to be used for non-medical purposes such as disciplinary confinement when it is empty
