Question

If a light bulb burns out in a healthcare facility, someone in the
department would be called to change the bulb.

If hospital bed sheets need to be washed and dried, someone from the
department would be called.

Someone who works in housekeeping support services might be responsible for
medical equipment.

If the medical facility needs to be unlocked or locked, you would call on someone in the
department to assist you.

Answer 1

Here are the likely departments for each task, plus a brief note where needed:

- Changing a burned-out light bulb → Facilities/Maintenance (also called Plant Operations or Facilities Management).
- Washing and drying bed sheets → Housekeeping / Environmental Services (EVS) or Laundry Services.
- “Someone who works in housekeeping support services might be responsible for medical equipment.” → No. Medical equipment maintenance/repair is usually the responsibility of Biomedical/Clinical Engineering (or a contracted biomedical service). Housekeeping/EVS handles cleaning and linen, not equipment repair. Sterile Processing handles cleaning/sterilizing instruments.
- Unlocking or locking the facility → Security (Hospital Security or Safety Services).

If you want, I can reword these as fill-in-the-blank sentences or create a quick reference list for staff who to call for common problems.
