The Sharp Memorial Trauma Catchment is located relative to the freeways as:

• A. North of the 94, East of the 805
• B. South of the 94, East of the 805
• C. North of the 94, West of the 805
• D. South of the 94, West of the 805

Answer: (A)

Understanding a trauma catchment requires mapping the hospital’s position relative to major freeways. Sharp Memorial sits in the San Diego area north of the SR-94 corridor and east of I-805, placing it in the northeast quadrant relative to those highways. Describing its catchment as north of 94 and east of 805 best matches its actual location. Descriptions that place it south of 94 or west of 805 would place it in a different part of the city.
