Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADON stated IV orders were given to the Registered Nurse (RN)
and placed on a white board at station one with the times the medication was due and stop dates. The
ADON stated to keep the IV antibiotics on time, when a resident is admitted , the hospital records were
reviewed to ensure IV therapy would be continued. The ADON stated the RN supervisor was responsible
for adding new residents to the board if admissions or new orders were received. The ADON reviewed
Resident A's IV antibiotic orders and stated, a registry night shift RN reviewed Resident A's orders upon
admission and did not know why the Ampicillin was changed from 34 days to 4 days the following day. The
ADON stated the progress notes from Resident A's doctor, written on December 20, 2024, indicated to
continue Ampicillin 2 gm (gram) and the Ceftriaxone 2gm (gram) for 6 (six) weeks, but did not know why the
Ampicillin was not restarted until December 30, 2024, and for every 6 hours.
