Answer 1

An EMT may be charged with abandonment if they leave a patient without the patient's consent and without equal or higher level care.

Step-by-step explanation:

An EMT may be charged with abandonment if they leave a patient without the patient's consent and without equal or higher level care. This means that if an EMT leaves a patient alone without their permission and without ensuring that someone of equal or higher level of care is attending to them, they can be charged with abandonment.
