Which task relates to managing office supplies?

• A. Order office supplies
• B. Perform refraction
• C. Diagnose conditions
• D. Reconcile accounts

Answer: (A)

Administrative tasks that keep a practice running are about organizing, stocking, and supplying the workspace. Managing office supplies centers on ensuring the right materials are on hand, monitoring usage, and placing orders with vendors to prevent shortages and control costs. This keeps daily operations smooth so clinicians can focus on patient care. The other tasks are clinical or financial: performing refraction is a procedure to determine a patient’s prescription, diagnosing conditions involves clinical assessment, and reconciling accounts involves balancing financial records. So, ordering office supplies is the activity that relates to managing office supplies.
