THE CASE

Mrs. Roundtree is a 59-year-old female admitted for coronary artery bypass surgery. Her progress through the hospital followed a normal progression with two days in the ICU following surgery. Four days post-op, she was transferred to the telemetry with routine transfer orders: including PT/OT, progressive ambulation and bathroom privileges with assistance. She participated in therapy, but voiced reluctance to get out of bed. She continued to request the bed pan. The PCT encouraged her to ambulate to the bathroom. The family requested the nurse help with her ambulation instead of the PCT. The PCT discussed the situation with the RN and was told the patient was participating with PT and ambulating in the hallway, so continue to encourage her and assist her with ambulating to the bathroom. The PCT returned to the room and assisted Mrs. Roundtree to the bathroom. Once the patient was situated on the toilet, the PCT received a message to help in another room. She left Mrs. Roundtree and assured her she would be back shortly. The family discovered the patient unconscious on the floor of the bathroom. Who is liable?
