Use your critical-thinking skills to answer the questions that follow each of the case studies.
A woman gave birth in the back seat of a taxicab while en route to the hospital. To what standard of care would each of the following individuals be held?
The victim's husband sued the supervisor, the office manager, and the employees' parent organization for failure to render medical assistance. In a finding for the defendants, an appeals court ruled there was "no duty of care" for the employees to render assistance. Despite this court's ruling, in a similar situation, would you have acted as the CPR-trained office manager did? Explain your answer.
