An acute-care facility treats non-emergency patients (cuts, colds, etc.). Patients arrive according to an exponential interarrival time distribution with a mean of 11 minutes. Upon arrival, they check in at a registration desk staffed by two nurses. Registration times follow a uniform distribution between 6 to 16 minutes. After completing registration, they wait for an available examination room; there are three identical rooms. Once a room becomes available, a patient is called into the room and receives the service (examination). Historical data suggest that patients can be divided into two groups with regard to different examination times. The first group (55% of patients) has examination times that follow a normal distribution with a mean and standard deviation of 22 and 4 minutes, respectively. The second group (45% of patients) has examination times that follow a normal distribution with a mean and standard deviation of 36 and 8 minutes, respectively. Simulate the system in Arena for 100 hours and answer the following questions. 1. What is the average waiting time (in minutes) to check-in? 2. What is the average waiting time (in minutes) to be called into an examination room? 3. How long, on average, do patients spend in the system (from entering the facility until they leave, in minutes)? 4. What is the average utilization of nurses? 5. What is the average utilization of examination rooms? 6. How many type 1 patients checked in during the simulation time? 7. How many type 2 patients checked in during the simulation time?

Senorio: Nurse: HI Jenny, how's it going so far? Other nurse: So far, so good. Nurse: Good. I noticed we received new insulin orders for Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones's blood glucose level was just checked. The insulin orders have been updated on the MAR, and the blood glucose level is on the flow sheet. Mr. Jones has not received his pre-meal insulin. Other nurse: I'll get right on that. But first, can we review the updated MAR and the flow sheet? Nurse: Absolutely. Other nurse: Ok so Mr. Jones blood glucose level is 144. Mr. Jones will not need insulin coverage for a glucose of 144. And I see that Dr. Brady ordered 6 units of regular insulin and 12 units of NPH. Question: After checking the expiration date of the insulin vials and reviewing the prescription for regular and NPH insulin, the nurse prepares to draw the insulin into a syringe. What actions should the nurse take to prepare the insulin for administration safely?
