Q. The mortality rate in the community is 11 every 1,000 populations. This rate will fall to 9.5 every thousand if 1 doctor is added also to 9 every thousand if two doctors are added. Every new doctor will cost the system $250,000 every year.

An alternative plan is to bring in two home care nurses. Every home care nurse will see two patients every hour. The addition of the first nurse will reduce the mortality rate by 0.8 every thousand, also the addition of a second nurse will reduce the mortality rate by 0.6 every thousand. Every home care nurse will cost the system $100,000 every year.
