Who is responsible for ensuring flame retardant window coverings are maintained properly for privacy and light control?

2. Administrative staff

3. Nursing staff

4. Housekeeping staff

The correct answer is: Housekeeping staff

Housekeeping staff are responsible for ensuring flame retardant window coverings are maintained properly for privacy and light control in a nursing home. This task falls under their responsibilities as they are in charge of maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the facility, which includes ensuring that all safety measures such as flame retardant window coverings are in place and working effectively. While residents, administrative staff, and nursing staff may have other important roles within the facility, the specific task of maintaining flame retardant window coverings for safety purposes is primarily the responsibility of the housekeeping staff.
