On arrival, you notice the emergency department is very busy and there are no empty beds to be found. You have attempted to get the attention of a hospital staff member to transfer the patient, but all are currently helping other patients. Your partner tells you to take the patient to the waiting room and leave him since the dispatcher of your service is holding several serious calls. What could possibly happen to you if you leave the patient in this fashion?
A) You could possibly be charged with abandonment.
B) Nothing, provided that your supervisor authorizes this action.
C) You could possibly be charged with false imprisonment.
