Michael, a personal care assistant who has recently joined the aged care facility, left an elderly client undressed in his room for 20 minutes after showering him. Michael was distracted and lost track of time he was away from the client.  His absence contravened both his duty of care and his job description, which specified that he must never leave a client alone after showering and before they were dressed. The client attempted to dress himself and had a nasty fall. Fortunately, there was no permanent injury, but the client sustained lacerations on the left limb. First Aid was provided, and a dressing was applied. A doctor saw the client. 

 

The client’s family decided to take legal action for negligence but was advised by their solicitor that, while there were grounds for establishing negligence, it was felt that the action would be unsuccessful because the client had not been permanently injured.

Do you think Michael has ignored his duty towards the client? Explain why? 
Who needs to act against personal care assistant’s behaviour in the given scenario?
