Let's address the first three questions as per the guidelines.

Question 11

Hartman Physicians' Group uses an average of 10 lavender-topped blood collection tubes each day. It is currently taking 15 business days for new shipments to arrive. The safety stock is a 3-week supply.

  1. How many tubes are used each day?

    • Answer: 10 tubes
  2. How many days does it take to get a new shipment?

    • Answer: 15 business days
  3. How many tubes are in the safety stock?

    • Calculation:
      • 3 weeks = 3 * 7 days = 21 days
      • Safety stock = 21 days * 10 tubes/day = 210 tubes
    • Answer: 210 tubes
  4. The office should reorder when $\qquad$ tubes are left.

    • Calculation:
      • Reorder point = (Amount used per day * Days from order to delivery) + Safety stock
      • Reorder point = (10 tubes/day * 15 days) + 210 tubes
      • Reorder point = 150 tubes + 210 tubes = 360 tubes
    • Answer: 360 tubes
Question 12

An endocrinology office uses an average of 20 lancets per day. It takes 5 business days to get a new shipment. The safety stock is a 2-week supply.

  1. How many lancets are used each day?

    • Answer: 20 lancets
  2. How many days does it take to get a new shipment?

    • Answer: 5 business days
  3. How many lancets are in the safety stock?

    • Calculation:
      • 2 weeks = 2 * 7 days = 14 days
      • Safety stock = 14 days * 20 lancets/day = 280 lancets
    • Answer: 280 lancets
  4. The office should reorder when $\qquad$ lancets are left.

    • Calculation:
      • Reorder point = (Amount used per day * Days from order to delivery) + Safety stock
      • Reorder point = (20 lancets/day * 5 days) + 280 lancets
      • Reorder point = 100 lancets + 280 lancets = 380 lancets
    • Answer: 380 lancets
Question 13

Exam table paper rolls come in boxes of 12 rolls. Each roll usually lasts through 5 patient changes. Dr. Letizia is the only provider in her office. On most days she sees 20 patients. It takes 10 business days to get a new order of exam table paper. Safety stock for this item is 1 box.

  1. How many boxes are used each day?

    • Calculation:
      • Each roll lasts for 5 patient changes.
      • Dr. Letizia sees 20 patients/day.
      • Rolls used per day = 20 patients/day / 5 patients/roll = 4 rolls/day
      • Boxes used per day = 4 rolls/day / 12 rolls/box = 1/3 box/day
    • Answer: 1/3 box
  2. How many days does it take to get a new shipment?

    • Answer: 10 business days
  3. How many boxes are in the safety stock?

    • Answer: 1 box
  4. The office should reorder when $\qquad$ boxes are left.

    • Calculation:
      • Reorder point = (Amount used per day * Days from order to delivery) + Safety stock
      • Reorder point = (1/3 box/day * 10 days) + 1 box
      • Reorder point = 10/3 boxes + 1 box = 3.33 boxes + 1 box = 4.33 boxes
      • Rounded to the nearest whole number: 4 boxes
    • Answer: 4 boxes
Summary
  • Question 11: The office should reorder when 360 tubes are left.
  • Question 12: The office should reorder when 380 lancets are left.
  • Question 13: The office should reorder when 4 boxes are left.
