1. "The vendor-managed inventory (VMI) package can reach any community within 24 to 36 hours."
2. "Our local hospital is supposed to be stockpiling antibiotics."
3. "The push package can reach any community within 12 hours of an attack."
4. "The Strategic National Stockpile is located at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta."
5. "Our country's drug stockpile is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."
Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale: The Strategic National Stockpile is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The push package can reach any community within 12 hours of an attack, and the vendor-managed inventory (VMI) package can reach any community within 24 to 36 hours. Local hospitals are discouraged from stockpiling antibiotics due to finite expiration dates on the antibiotics. The Strategic National Stockpile is located at various sites throughout the country.
