On 2/11/25 at 1:05 PM, R7 stated the nurses are 'hit an miss' administering his Ertapenem Sodium One Gram (GM) via his PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line. R7 stated, Sometimes they (staff) are good about it and other times I have to wait for hours. Then I ask about it and they tell me they will get it. No one ever returns to give me the antibiotic. That is the entire reason I have to have this PICC line. If they (staff) aren't going to give it to me, then I should not have to (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few have this PICC line.

V7 RN stated she looked for R7's Ertapenem Sodium IV antibiotic, but was not able to find it. V7, RN, stated she did not give R7's antibiotic on those two days, and did not notify the Physician. V7, RN, stated she was told later that the facility has a back up medication storage system, which did include the antibiotic, which was onsite that weekend. V7, RN, stated, I guess I should have called somebody, but I can't be expected to give something I can't find. I should not have to call the doctor every time someone doesn't get their medication. 2.
