The nursing facility was contacted and learned that Resident #69 had not received any IV antibiotics since 08/01/24 when he had an emergency room (ER) visit for a fall. The ID specialist's office was not contacted, and it was unclear why the PICC line was removed. New orders for STAT (right now or immediately) blood cultures needed drawn, PICC line placement, restart Daptomycin 500 mg IV via PICC daily for six weeks, Teflaro 600 mg every eight hours for six weeks, monitor weekly labs (BMP, CBC with diff, and LFTs) and send to the ID specialist's office, an abdominal ultrasound (US) with elastography, and follow-up in three weeks.
