complaints of pain or discomfort at this time. R2's progress notes dated 11/12/2025 at 1:16PM documents R2 arrived at the facility at 11:40AM by way of EMS accompanied by two emergency medical attendants, EMT, attendants. R2 was readmitted and was reorientated to room. R2 is alert with confusion; mood is stable and dependent on staff for all care needs. Per hospital nurse R2's diagnosis is osteomyelitis and R2 will be on IV and by mouth antibiotics until 12/24/25. R2 had no complaints of pain or discomfort upon return. R2 has a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) reinserted. PICC line to left upper arm which is intact. Hardened knot near left elbow.

On 11/20/2025 at 12:00PM R2 was resting in bed with eyes open. V3, Assistant Director of Nursing, ADON, and V4, wound nurse performed skin check on R2. R2's second great toe appears calloused and darkened. On 11/19/2025 at 3:05PM V2 stated R2 came back from the hospital on 9/30/2025. The nurse that took the orders transcribed the discontinue date of her antibiotics as 10/10/2025 and it was supposed to be 11/10/2025. We realized the error when R2 was in a telehealth meeting with the infectious disease specialist and the nurse that had incorrectly transcribed the orders was in the meeting with R2. R2's labs had been normal, and her white blood cell count had returned to normal. The Dr even said it was up to the family if they wanted to restart the antibiotic. We didn't feel it was fair to put that decision on the family, so we sent R2 out to the hospital and there she was restarted on the antibiotic. We did some education, training, and quality assurance on all residents on an antibiotic and the stop dates. On 11/21/2025 at 8:50AM V11, Pharmacist, stated Discontinuing the antibiotic early for osteomyelitis is a big deal. That would be a significant medication error. That could lead to all sorts of problems.On 11/21/2025 at 9:35AM V12, Nurse Practitioner, NP, stated The incorrect transcription of the antibiotic for (R2)'s osteomyelitis definitely contributed to her being re-diagnosed with osteomyelitis and needing further antibiotics. I would expect the orders to be transcribed correctly.Facility's medication administration policy dated 6/1/2025 states To provide practice standards for safe administration of education for residents in the facility. Medications will be administered by a licensed nurse per the order of an attending physician or licensed independent practitioner or as a consistent state law.
