A mental hospital with 50% annual ............ rate would see half of its discharged patients return within a year.
Answer: C
The missing word is Recidivism.
Recidivism means a relapse into a former condition or behaviour. In psychiatry it is used for readmission: a hospital with a 50% annual recidivism rate sees half of its discharged patients return within a year. The same word is used in criminology for reoffending.
Recovery is the opposite outcome, the patient getting well and staying out. Recession is an economic term, and classification refers to grouping patients or disorders by diagnosis; neither describes patients coming back.
