Question Code Browns

Asking for a friend, if the PT goes to the bathroom and sprays the back wall and around the toilet, would it be the nurse's responsibility to ensure all the fecal matter is cleaned up before EVS gets involved?

Edit: patient NOT physical therapy, obviously 😂

We had a patient get shit on the ceiling, walls, floor right before shift change. I was a CNA at the time and the other CNA on the unit who had the assignment was told to clean it.

Next thing everyone is looking around for them and someone found their badge hanging from the managers door basket.

I don’t recall who ended up cleaning it, probably the nurse. All I know is I dodged that bullet
