Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Withdrawing medical care after providing sufficient notice is not abandonment, as long as it is done in a responsible manner and the patient is referred to other appropriate care providers. Abandonment occurs when a healthcare provider stops providing care to a patient without providing reasonable notice, or without making arrangements for continued care.
