An environmental service employee of the hospital was called to the vascular surgery floor to clean the floor where a bag of potassium chloride had spilled. After cleaning the floor, the employee failed to place any signs advising others of a wet floor. Mrs. Jones, a hospital visitor, fell on the wet floor and injured her back. She incurred medical expenses of $560 and lost wages in the amount of $1,000.
