For a single-user office, the most cost-effective and functional choice is a key lock. Other options (keypad, badge, biometric) are appropriate for higher-security or multi-user access points but are excessive in cost and complexity for one occupant.
B). Key lock (Correct): Meets the requirement simply and inexpensively.
A). Keypad lock: Adds unnecessary technology and cost.
C). Biometric lock: High cost, appropriate for sensitive areas only.
D). Badge access lock: Requires system integration and ongoing management not justified for a single office.

A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) continuously monitors the current balance between the "hot" and
"neutral" conductors. If an imbalance greater than about 5 milliamps occurs (indicating leakage current flowing to ground), the GFCI trips instantly to protect personnel from shock.
Correct (D): Current - GFCIs detect differences in current between conductors.
Incorrect: Resistance (A), Voltage (B), and Power (C) are not directly monitored by GFCIs.

Hospital-grade receptacles, as defined in UL 498 and required under NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code, must be marked with a green dot. This identifies receptacles tested for durability, grounding reliability, and retention force.
Red outlets are often tied to emergency power, but that is separate from the "hospital grade" designation.

Construction projects in healthcare facilities must have secured funding before starting. While approvals, staffing, and security considerations are important, the project cannot begin without the capital budget authorization. This aligns with AIA project delivery requirements and AHA/ASHE guidance for healthcare construction projects.

The outsourcing scenario matches the current in-house budget exactly; therefore, no savings are achieved.
This type of financial analysis is common in the CHFM Financial Management domain.
