F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement Antibiotic Stewardship Program (measures used by the facility to ensure antibiotics [drug to treat infection] are used only when necessary and appropriate) for one of 21 sampled residents (Resident 42). Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to put Resident 42 at risk for antibiotic resistance (when bacteria change to resist antibiotics used to effectively treat them) and inappropriate use of antibiotic. Findings: During a review of Resident 42's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including left temporomandibular joint disorder (a condition that affects the joint that connects the jaw to the [NAME] and causes pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, neck and shoulders.), muscle weakness and chronic viral hepatitis C (a lifelong liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus). During a review of Resident 42's Physician Progress Notes History and Physical, dated 12/23/2024, the Physician Progress Notes History and Physical indicated, Resident 42 did not appear to have decision making capacity. During a review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS -a resident assessment tool), dated 10/3/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 42 needed partial to moderate assistance from nursing staff with toileting, showering, dressing, and transferring. The MDS indicated Resident 42 needed nursing staff supervision or touching assistance with rolling from left to right, eating, oral hygiene, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 42 did not attempt to walk due to medical condition or safety concerns. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/2025 at 11:12 a.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), Resident 42's Progress Notes, dated 12/30/2024 was reviewed. The Progress Note indicated, on 12/20/2024 Resident 42 had left facial pain of unclear etiology. The Progress Notes indicated, Resident 42 was being treated with Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate- an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections) 875-125 milligrams (mg-unit of measurement) one tablet by mouth every 12 hours for seven days just in case the cause of the pain was from dental or soft tissue. The Progress Notes indicated after being seen by the physician he was unable to differentiate if the pain was from a tooth, the jaw, or the cheek. IP stated Resident 42 had a bacterial infection and was prescribed amoxicillin to treat a bacterial infection. IP stated the McGeer criteria was not used, and the physician ordered Augmentin for seven days for symptoms of left facial pain. IP stated the McGeer determines if there was an actual infection for skin or soft tissue and is used to establish if infection was present. IP stated on 12/27/2024 Resident 42 was referred to the dentist but was not seen by the dentist due to being discharged from the facility. IP stated before antibiotics were given to residents an assessment should be done by the licensed nurse, the physician orders labs, and the results of the labs are reviewed by the doctor. IP stated she reviews the Loeb Minimum Criteria (a set of signs and symptoms that indicate a resident in long-term care may have an infection and could benefit from antibiotics) to see if the resident meets the criteria for antibiotics. IP stated Resident 42 did not have an assessment documented, and labs were not ordered. IP stated she did not check to see if Resident 42 met the Loeb Minimum Criteria.
