Question
What If?
A 75-year-old patient at a licensed, long-term care facility suffers from diabetes, dementia, coronary artery disease, and immobile decubitus ulcers (bedsores). She is unable to walk, talk, or feed herself.
Her physician prescribed a daily whirlpool bath as a medical treatment for the decubitus ulcers. The facility does not have a whirlpool, so the patient was given regular daily baths instead. A certified nursing assistant (CNA) prepared a bath for the patient and placed her in hot water that was 128°F, which subsequently caused severe burns. As a result of the burns, the patient developed a bacterial infection and died 3 days later of sepsis.
A wrongful death lawsuit was brought against the long-term care facility. The parties settled before the trial for $1.5 million.
1. Who would have been named in this lawsuit?
2. How could the patient's death have been prevented? How could a safer environment have been provided?
3. Define and describe the four elements of negligence in this case.
