Questions

A PTA аpplied а mоist hоt pаck (MHP) tо a patient’s lower back and asked a physical therapy aide to check on the patient’s MHP every 5 minutes. The same physical therapy aide was told by another PTA to wash the whirlpool, and the aide forgot to check on the patient’s MHP. The patient rang the bell for help because the MHP was too hot. Eventually, after 15 minutes, another PTA heard the bell and checked on the patient. As a result, the patient received a minor burn to his lower back. In this situation, who will be liable for negligence?
