Q1.
List the people who works at a hospital or a health centre; and write down their role in the following table. One example has been given in the table.
| People | Role in the Hospital/Health Centre |
|---|---|
| Doctor | Treats patients and prescribes medicines. |
| Nurse | |
Answer
Many people work together in a hospital. Each one has a different job.
| People | Role in the Hospital/Health Centre |
|---|---|
| Doctor | Treats patients and prescribes medicines. |
| Nurse | Looks after patients, gives them medicines and injections, and dresses wounds. |
| Lab technician | Tests blood and other samples and gives the report to the doctor. |
| Pharmacist | Gives out the medicines written on the doctor’s slip. |
| Receptionist | Writes down the patient’s name and gives the card for meeting the doctor. |
| Ward attendant | Helps patients move from one room to another and carries them on a stretcher. |
| Ambulance driver | Brings very sick or hurt people to the hospital quickly. |
| Cleaning staff | Keeps the rooms and beds clean, so that illness does not spread. |
Why so many people are needed: a doctor alone cannot do everything. Treating a patient needs tests, medicines, care and cleanliness together.
Note about the book: the printed question reads “the people who works”. It should be “the people who work”, because “people” is plural.
