Abandonment

Abandonment consists of leaving the patient for any reason when the patient's condition is contingent on the presence of the caregiver. If the caregiver leaves the room knowing there is a potential need for care during his or her absence, even under the order of a physician, the caregiver is liable for his or her own actions.
