Problem:
Discuss the following case: Alice is a speech therapist at a skilled nursing facility. While taking a patient back to her room after a therapy session, the patient asks to be transferred from her wheelchair to her bed. The patient is quite small, so Alice assumes this will be an easy task and there is no reason to bother the nursing staff. Alice forgets to lock the patient's wheelchair and it slips away before the patient can stand up, resulting in a severe fall. The patient suffers a hip fracture and other bruising. What legal issue is present in this case? What might happen to Alice? Who is ultimately responsible in this case? Need Online Tutoring?
