StumbleNurse faces elder-abuse charge
Monday, May 15, 2000 | 11:08 a.m.
The state attorney general's office has charged a Las Vegas registered nurse with one count of felony elder neglect.
Fraud unit director Tim Terry said his investigation led to the charge against Patricia Ella Cain, 45. Cain is alleged to have misdirected a feeding tube through a 69-year-old man's abdominal cavity rather than his stomach, Terry said.
Anyone suspecting the abuse or neglect of an elderly person may report it to the Medicaid Fraud Unit at 775-687-4704 or 486-3420.
