Explanation:

1. For the first question, in a medical setting, non - medical staff should not handle medical equipment cords (like vacuuming over them, unplugging, or coiling without proper authorization). Reporting to the nurse (who has the medical knowledge and authority) is the correct action.
2. For soiled linen, placing it in a soiled linen bag is the standard practice to prevent the spread of germs. Transporting in hands can lead to contamination, using a trash bag is incorrect for linen (trash bags are for non - reusable waste in many cases), and using the housekeeping cart without a proper bag is also not hygienic.
3. Door knobs are frequently touched by multiple people, so they are high - touch items. Windows, blankets (usually not touched as frequently as door knobs in terms of hand - contact for most people), and shoes (not typically a high - touch item in the same sense as door knobs in a general indoor, shared - space context) are not as frequently touched as door knobs.

Answer:

1. Report it to the nurse.
2. Place the linen in a soiled linen bag for transport.
3. Door knob.
