Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure a low air loss
mattress (a specialized therapeutic surface to help redistribute pressure across the body to prevent
pressure ulcers) was initiated for Resident #32 as recommended per Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) #479.
This affected one (Resident #32) out of two residents reviewed for wounds. The facility identified 13
residents (#6, #7, #9, #11, #29, #30, #31, #32, #35, #36, #40, #48, #57) with wounds. The facility census
was 57.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of medical record for Resident #32 revealed an admission date of 03/27/25 and diagnoses
including diabetes, muscle wasting, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease.
Review of the Braden Scale dated 03/27/25, completed by Registered Nurse (RN) #440, revealed Resident
#32 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers as she was very moist and had limited mobility.
Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 03/27/25 revealed Resident #32 had barriers to wound
healing that included immobility, malnutrition, and atrophy (muscle or tissue wasting). Wound NP #479
evaluated Resident #32, who was admitted with pressure ulcers to her left and right buttock. Wound NP
#479 recommended Resident #32 to have a low air loss mattress and to be reposition every two hours.
Review of the Medicare Five-Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#32 had intact cognition. Resident #32 required total dependence of staff assistance with toileting and
transfers and was unable to ambulate. Resident #32 required substantial to maximum staff assistance with
rolling left and right in bed and putting or taking off footwear. Resident #32 was at risk for developing
pressure ulcers and had pressures ulcers present on admission.
Review of Wound NP #479's progress notes dated 04/28/25, and 05/05/25 revealed Wound NP #479
continued to recommend a low air loss mattress.
Review of Wound Tracking dated 05/12/25, completed by RN/ Wound Nurse #403, revealed Resident #32
was found to have an intact non-blanchable (stays red/purple when skin pushed indicating little or no blood
flow to area) purple discoloration to her left medial heel that measured two centimeters in length and two
cm in width.
Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 05/19/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to
recommend a low air loss mattress. Resident #32 had a new deep tissue injury (DTI) to her left medial heel

that was purple and non-blanchable. Wound NP #479 recommended to clean the wound bed, pat dry, apply
skin prep (creates a protective layer on the skin to shield it from adhesive trauma, friction, and moisture
damage) cover with ABD (large bulky gauze pad) and wrap with kling daily.
Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 05/26/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to
recommend a low air loss mattress.
Review of the care plan dated 05/28/25 revealed Resident #32 was at risk for complications related to the
pressure ulcer to her left heel. Interventions included administer treatments as ordered, monitor for signs of
infection, instruct and assist to shift weight frequently as tolerated, and follow facility policies for the
prevention and treatment of skin breakdown including use of pressure reducing mattress to bed. There was
nothing in the care plan regarding a low air loss mattress.
Review of June 2025 Physician Orders revealed Resident #32 had an order dated 03/27/25 for a pressure
reducing mattress. She also had orders dated 04/21/25 to wear heel protectors while in bed and off load
her bilateral heels with pillows while in bed.
Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 06/02/25 revealed Resident #32's left medial pressure
ulcer declined and was classified as an unstageable (full- thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent
of the tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it was obscured by slough (dead skin)
and/or eschar). Wound NP #479 described the wound as having serosanguinous (combination of watery
fluid and bloody) drainage) drainange with slough (dead tissue). Wound NP #479 changed the treatment to
clean the wound bed, pat dry, apply mesalt (absorbs drainage from the wound) cut to size, apply ABD pad
and wrap with Kerlix daily. Wound NP #479 continued to recommend a low air loss mattress.
Review of Wound NP #479's notes dated 06/09/25 and 06/16/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to
recommend a low air loss mattress.
Observation on 06/16/25 at 4:00 P.M. and 06/17/25 at 7:26 A.M. revealed Resident #32 had a pressure
reducing mattress, but it was not a low air loss mattress.
Observation of wound care on 06/17/25 at 10:40 A.M. completed by RN/Wound Nurse #403 revealed the
wound care was completed as ordered. RN/Wound Nurse #403 described the wound as an opened
unstageable pressure ulcer with serous (clear or pale-yellow fluid) drainage that contained white slough.
Resident #32 did not have a low air loss mattress in place.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 10:51 A.M. with RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32's left medial heel
was opened with drainage and contained slough. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified per Wound NP #479's
weekly progress notes from 03/27/25 to 06/16/25 that Wound NP #479 recommended a low air loss
mattress. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32 had not had a low air loss mattress since
admission.
Interview on 06/18/25 at 10:05 A.M. with Wound NP #479 revealed she evaluated all wounds at the facility
including Resident #32 weekly. Wound NP #479 verified she had recommended a low air loss mattress and
that was still her recommendation as she felt it would help with wound healing and prevention especially
since Resident #32 at times refused to wear her heel protectors. Wound NP #479 revealed the left medial
heel was a DTI that was purple and non-blanchable but then declined to an unstageable pressure ulcer.
Wound NP #479 said it was hard to say if the low air loss mattress could have prevented the DTI and/or
decline as there were several other contributing factors including Resident

#32 dangled her feet without elevating most of the day, and bumped into things with her feet while up but
that it was possible especially with her noncompliance with the heel protectors.
Review of the facility policy labeled, Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Care Protocol dated January 2025
revealed the facility would use the criteria as part of the resident's comprehensive assessment to determine
risk of pressure ulcer development and development of resident's plan of care. The policy revealed all
facility beds had a pressure redistribution mattress that reduced friction and shear during movement. The
facility would select a surface that met the residents' needs based on risk assessment and current skin
issues that could include a low air loss mattress. The policy revealed treatment of pressure ulcers would
vary depending on orders from the consulting wound specialist and the nurse would carry out the treatment
as ordered and implement measures to prevent pressure ulcers.

and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, review of medical record and review of facility policy the facility failed to ensure
passive range of motion (PROM) and splinting restorative programs were completed per therapy
recommendations. This affected two residents (#22 and #53) out of two residents reviewed for ROM. The
facility identified 21 residents (#4, #6, #8, #10, #11, #12, #14, #15, #18, #19, #22, #23, #25, #26, #30, #32,
#34, #35, #43, #51 and #53) with impaired ROM. The facility census was 57.
Findings include:
1. Review of medical record for Resident #53 revealed an admission date of 02/14/25 and diagnoses
including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side,
dementia, and heart failure.
Review of physician orders and electronic task bar from 02/14/25 to 06/16/25 for Resident #53 revealed
there were no orders or documentation for restorative range of motion and/or splints.
Review of the Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 03/13/25 completed by
Occupational Therapist (OT) #478 revealed Resident #53 had a cerebral infarction, muscle wasting and
need for assistance with personal care. The evaluation revealed Resident #53 had impaired bilateral upper
and lower range of motion and had functional limitation due to contractures to his bilateral upper hands and
wrists which he had resting hand splints for. The evaluation recommended OT therapy three times a week
for two weeks with a goal to safely wear his resting hand splints on his bilateral hands for up to four hours.
The evaluation revealed he was wearing the splints currently less than 30 minutes.
Review of the OT Discharge Summary dated 03/24/25 completed by OT #478 revealed Resident #53 was
discharged from therapy and recommended a restorative PROM (passive range of motion) program with
splint wearing schedule. The summary revealed upon discharge Resident #53 was safely wearing his
bilateral hand splints for 30 minutes.
Review of the Restorative Nursing Program Communication Form dated 03/24/25 completed by Former
Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA)/ Rehab Director #900 revealed Resident #53 was recommended a
PROM to his upper and lower extremities and to be out of bed in a wheelchair three to five times a week.
There was nothing on the communication form regarding bilateral hand splints.
Review of the care plan dated 03/28/25 revealed Resident #53 had a self-care deficit. Interventions
included therapy evaluation and treat as ordered, assisting with toileting as applicable, and encouraging to
do as much as possible. There was nothing in the comprehensive care plan regarding contractures to his
upper and lower extremities, PROM and/or bilateral hand splints.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #53 had
impaired cognition. Resident #53 had impairment to both upper and lower extremities. Resident #53 was
dependent of staff for his activities of daily living (ADLs) including toileting hygiene, bathing, rolling left and
right in bed and transfers. There was no restorative ROM and splinting completed during this assessment
period.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, record review and review of facility policy the facility failed to ensure Resident #4's weights were
obtained and the physician notified as ordered. This affected one resident (#4) out of four residents
reviewed for nutrition. The facility census was 57.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of medical record for Resident #4 revealed an admission date of 11/20/24 and diagnoses including
dysphagia, dementia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and hypertension.
Review of weight records from 11/22/24 to 06/16/25 revealed on 11/22/24 Resident #4's weight was 119.6
pounds. The record revealed on 03/18/25 her weight was 129.6 pounds (10 pound gain from admission), on
03/23/25 her weight was 131.8 pounds (12.2 pound gain from admission), on 03/25/25 her weight was
132.8 pounds (13.2 pound gain from admission), on 04/03/25 her weight was 143.6 pounds (24 pound gain
from admission), on 04/08/25 her weight was 143.4 pounds, 04/17/25 her weight was 121.2 pounds (22.2
pound weight loss in one week), 04/23/25 her weight was 121.2 pounds, 04/24/25 her weight was 121.2
pounds, on 05/01/25 her weight was 134.4 pounds (13.2 pound gain in one week), on 05/28/25 her weight
was 138.2, on 06/06/25 her weight was 142.4 pounds, and 06/12/25 her weight was 139 pounds. There
were entries documented per the weight record per Dietitian Tech #449 that a reweight was needed
04/02/25, 04/18/25, and 05/02/25. There was no record a weight was obtained from 05/01/25 to 05/28/25
even after a request on 05/02/25 for a reweight until 05/28/25.
Review of the care plan dated 12/16/24 revealed Resident #4 had a nutritional problem related to dementia,
and heart disease. Interventions included providing diet as ordered, monitoring intake, recording intake
every meal, supplements as ordered, and monitoring monthly weights. There was nothing in the care plan
regarding weekly weights per order and notifying physician if weight greater or less than three pounds from
her admission weight.
Review of Physician Significant Weight Notification dated 04/09/25 revealed Resident #4 had a six percent
weight loss in one month. The notification revealed her oral intakes widely varied and she had a history of
edema with diuretic therapy. The recommendation was to continue weekly weights.
Review of quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #4 had
impaired cognition, and she ate independently. Her weight was recorded as 121 pounds, and she had
weight loss that was not prescribed.
Review of the Medical Nutrition Therapy Evaluation dated 05/21/25 completed by Dietitian Tech #449
revealed Resident #4's monthly weight was pending as her last weight on 04/24/25 was 121.2 pounds that
triggered a significant weight loss for one month of eight percent and three month of 9.8 percent. The
evaluation noted that the physician was notified, and a nutritious drink was added at breakfast for additional
support. There was no mention of weekly weight not being completed as ordered.
Review of the Physician Significant Weight Notification dated 05/28/25 completed by Dietitian Tech #449
revealed Primary Care Physician #475 was notified of Resident #4's significant weight gain of 15.6 percent
in six months. The weight change was likely due to drinking 100 percent of nutritional supplements and
good intakes. The notification recommended to follow and monitor.

Review of June 2025 physician orders revealed Resident #4 was on a regular diet, nutritious juice with
meals, two Kcal supplement three times a day and an order dated 03/18/25 for a weekly weight and to
notify the physician if greater and/or less than three pounds from admission weight.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 1:27 P.M. with Dietitian #476 verified Resident #4 had an order for a weekly weight
dated 03/18/25 and that the physician was to be notified if there was a three-pound gain and/or loss from
her admission weight. Dietitian #476 verified there was no record a weight was obtained from 05/01/25 to
05/28/25. Dietitian #476 revealed per the record it appeared Dietitian Tech #449 had requested a reweight
on 05/02/25 but that a reweight had not been completed until 05/28/25. Dietitian #476 verified Resident #4's
weight on 04/24/25 was 121.2 and on 05/01/25 her weight was 133.4 (12.2 pound increase in one week).
Dietitian #476 revealed notification to the physician would be by nursing since it was a physician order to
notify if the resident gained or lost three pounds from admission. Dietitian #476 was unsure what weight
nursing went by but verified her admission weight was 119.6 which was obtained on 11/22/24. Dietitian
#476 verified Resident #4's weight increased on 05/01/25 from 133.4 to 138.2 on 5/28/25 which was a 4.8
pound gain, and then increased on 06/06/25 to 142.4 (4.2 pound increase). Dietitian #476 was unsure if the
physician was notified of the weight increase as ordered as nursing would complete the notification.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 2:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing and Clinical Director #450 verified Resident
#4 had an order dated 03/18/25 for a weekly weight and to notify the physician if greater and or less than
three pounds from admission weight. They verified Resident #4 had no record a weight was completed from
05/01/25 to 05/28/25. They thought Dietician #476 or Dietician Tech #449 made notification regarding all
weight changes including as ordered. They verified they had no further evidence the physician was notified
each time the weekly weight was greater or less than three pounds from the admission weight including on
03/18/25, 04/03/25, 04/17/25, 05/01/25, 06/06/25, and 06/12/25 in which the weight was recorded greater
or less than three pounds from her admission weight.
Review of the facility policy labeled, Weight Protocol dated February 2025 revealed residents were to be
weighed monthly or as ordered by the physician. Reweights would be completed if a five pound or greater
variance was noted from the last recorded weight. Reweights would be completed within 24 to 72 hours.
The nutrition clinician would send a physician significant weight notification with documentation of residents'
weight changes for one, three and six months along with any recommendations. The notification was to be
sent even if no recommendations were made.

sentenced, and since the incident had some memory issues.
Review of a psychosocial note dated 03/25/22 revealed Resident #28 voiced stories about being in the
military and certain people triggered certain conversations.
Review of a psychosocial note dated 07/19/22 revealed Resident #28 talked about what he went through in
the military and the stories were very tragic. The resident voiced when seeing a person of authority then he

hallucinations.
Review of the care plan initiated on 06/05/21 and last reviewed on 04/28/25, revealed Resident #28 was
dependent on staff for meeting emotional, intellectual, physical and social needs related to cognitive
deficits. There was no reference in the care plan relevant to Resident #28's trauma including triggers and
trauma-informed care.
Review of the Quarterly MDS assessment completed 05/27/25 revealed Resident #28 had severe cognitive
impairment and PTSD.
Review of Resident #28's Kardex (patient information) for nursing assistants effective June 2025 revealed
no information relevant to trauma including triggers and trauma-informed care.
Review of nursing progress notes from June 2024 to June 2025 revealed no documentation relevant to
Resident #28's trauma or trauma-informed care.
Review of assessments for Resident #28 revealed no trauma focused assessments completed since
admission.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:09 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #406 revealed Resident #28 had
behaviors including wandering, fear with personal care, and resistance during care. LPN #406 was able to
identify Resident #28 as a Vietnam veteran but denied knowledge of specific trauma related care or trauma
triggers.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:15 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #466 revealed Resident #28
was resistive to care but denied knowledge of specific trauma related care or trauma triggers.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:26 A.M. with Social Services (SS) #405 revealed there was no specific
assessment related to trauma but there was a screening completed upon admission. SS #405 reported if a
resident had a trauma diagnosis then psychiatric services were referred, but Resident #28 was now unable
to participate in those services due to dementia.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:40 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN)/MDS #416 verified there was no trauma
assessment used for Resident #28 but two questions for screening were completed last on 04/01/25.
RN/MDS #416 reported knowing the resident was in the Vietnam War and had PTSD, but confirmed the
care plan did not reflect any specific trauma related care or trauma triggers, including the Kardex because it
was generated off the care plan.
Review of the facility policy, Trauma Informed and Behavioral Health Care Policy, reviewed January 2025,
revealed all residents were assessed on admission and quarterly for behavioral health and trauma related
issues. The care plan was reviewed quarterly and with any significant change in condition. Interventions
were updated as needed and as recommended or requested by residents, resident representatives, mental
health professionals and the interdisciplinary team. The care plan included non-pharmacological
interventions to address behaviors and reduce stress, triggers to avoid that would re-traumatize, behavioral
health services provided, and cultural and religious preferences. The care plan included monitoring for
effectiveness of the interventions with measurable goals.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review, facility policy review, and review of the memorandum from the
Department of Health and Human Services, the facility failed to initiate and use enhanced barrier
precautions (EBP) when appropriate for Resident #32. This affected one resident (#32) out of two residents
observed for use of enhanced barrier precautions. The facility identified 17 residents (#7, #14, #16, #18,
#22, #29, #30, #32, #33, #35, #38, #40, #43, #52, #53, #56, and #57) on enhanced barriers. Facility census
was 57.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of medical record for Resident #32 revealed an admission date of 03/27/25 and diagnoses
including diabetes, muscle wasting, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease.
Review of the Medicare Five-Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#32 had intact cognition, required total dependence of staff assistance with toileting and transfers, and was
unable to ambulate. Resident #32 required substantial to maximum staff assistance with rolling left and
right in bed and putting or taking off footwear and had pressures ulcers present on admission.
Review of the Wound Tracking dated 05/12/25 completed by Registered Nurse (RN)/Wound Nurse #403
revealed Resident #32 was found to have an intact non-blanchable (stays red/purple when skin was pushed
indicating little or no blood flow to area) purple discoloration to her left medial heel.
Review of the care plan dated 05/28/25 revealed Resident #32 was at risk for complications related to the
pressure ulcer to her left heel. Interventions included administering treatments as ordered and monitoring
for signs of infection. There was nothing in the care plan regarding EBP.
Review of June 2025 Physician Orders revealed Resident #32 did not have an order for EBP.
Review of Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) #479's progress note dated 06/02/25 revealed Resident #32's left
medial pressure ulcer declined and was classified as unstageable (full- thickness skin and tissue loss in
which the extent of the tissue damage within the ulcer could not be confirmed because it was obscured by
slough (dead skin) and/or eschar). Wound NP #479 described the wound as having serosanguinous (a
combination of watery fluid and blood) drainage with slough.
Observation on 06/16/25 at 4:00 P.M. revealed Resident #32 had no signage and/or personal protective
equipment (ppe) on or near her door indicating she was on EBP.
Observation of wound care on 06/17/25 at 10:40 A.M. completed by RN/Wound Nurse #403 revealed she
performed hand hygiene, applied gloves but no gown and proceeded to unwrap the ace wrap and dressing
to Resident #32's left foot. RN/Wound Nurse #403 performed hand hygiene and applied new gloves but did
not don a gown to cleanse the left medial heel with normal saline. RN/Wound Nurse #403 described the
wound as an opened pressure ulcer with serous (clear or pale-yellow fluid) drainage that contained white
slough. RN/Wound Nurse #403 then applied mesalt (absorbs drainage from the wound) that was cut to the
size of the wound, covered with an ABD pad and wrapped with Kerlix. RN/Wound Nurse #403 then
removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene. During the observation RN/Clinical Director #450, who
was the infection control preventionist, was also in the room and observed the wound care but

Interview on 06/17/25 at 10:51 A.M. with RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32's left medial heel
was opened with drainage and contained slough. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32 did not
have a physician order for EBP, and there was no signage in her room indicating to staff that she was on
EBP. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified that she did not follow EBP including wearing a gown during the
wound care. RN/Wound Nurse #403 revealed she felt it was an oversight because at first Resident #32's
wound was not opened but verified when the wound opened the facility should have obtained an order for
EBP and implemented EBP during care including wound care.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 06/17/25 at 2:13 P.M. with the Director of Nursing and RN/Clinical Director #450 they verified
staff should have implemented EBP which would included use of a gown during Resident #32's care
including wound care.
Review of the memorandum, QSO-24-08-NH, entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Nursing Homes,
dated 03/20/24, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health & Human
Services revealed enhanced barrier precautions were indicated for residents with wounds and/or indwelling
medical devices even if the resident was not known to be infected or colonized with a multi-drug resistant
organism (MDRO). The effective date for implementation of enhanced barrier precautions under the
guidelines was 04/01/24.
Review of facility policy labeled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) dated November 2024 revealed EBP
was an infection control intervention designed to reduce the transmission/ spread of multidrug resistant
organisms. The policy revealed precautions were used in conjunction with standard precautions and
expanded to the use of ppe with the donning of a gown and gloves during high contact resident care
activities. Indications for EBP use included residents that had indwelling medical devices, or wounds. The
policy revealed high contact care activities for which EBP was indicated included wound care and
treatments. Communication to staff for the use of EBP was through EBP signage.

Review of the hospital record dated 11/27/13 revealed an assessment and plan for an antibiotic as
Resident #11 would likely need lifelong prophylactic treatment.
Review of the hospital record dated 10/14/15 revealed Resident #11 had an order for cephalexin four times
daily and would receive it indefinitely due to a history of a spinal abscess.
Residents Affected - Some
There was no McGeer criteria available for review related to this antibiotic use.
Review of Resident #11's nursing and physician progress notes from 06/24/24 to 05/22/25 revealed no
evidence the physician reviewed or evaluated the necessity and appropriateness for the ongoing antibiotic
use.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 2:14 P.M. with Clinical Director #450 and the Director of Nursing confirmed
Resident #11's antibiotic order had no stop date or indication of duration and indicated the physician was
aware of its ongoing use but was unable to verify or provide evidence the physician had reviewed its
appropriateness or continued necessity.
4. Review of the facility policy, Antibiotic Stewardship Program, dated November 2017 revealed the infection
preventionist monitored and supported antibiotic stewardship activities, and the Director of Nursing (DON)
conveyed expectations to nursing staff and set practice standards for assessing, monitoring and
communicating change in resident condition by front line nursing staff. The facility followed McGeer criteria
for identification of infections and tracked how and why antibiotics were prescribed, how often and the
number of antibiotics prescribed, and adverse outcomes if any from antibiotic use. Antibiotic use, tracking
and trending was compiled monthly and results reported to infection control committee and quality
assurance team. Clinicians, nursing, staff, residents and families were provided with antibiotic stewardship
education. Every dose, duration, route and indication of every antibiotic was documented in the medical
record and reviewed monthly to assess compliance. Providers utilized the assessment criteria when
considering antibiotic use.
There was no evidence on the facility policy of its annual review.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 8:54 A.M. with Clinical Director (CD) #450, who was the infection preventionist,
verified the above findings. CD #450 confirmed McGeer's criteria was not assessed for any residents who
had chronic infections or came from the hospital but were noted on the infection log as not meeting criteria.
If a resident was involved with an infection disease specialist, then McGeer's was not completed. Instead,
orders were followed and any follow-up completed. The facility did not get involved with assessing or
determining appropriateness or necessity of antibiotic use unless the infection started in the facility. CD
#450 denied getting involved with any physicians outside of the facility because of being able to
communicate with the facility physician, as other physicians were difficult to reach. CD #450 reported
talking with the facility physician about antibiotic use but was unable to confirm or provide evidence for
reviewing McGeer criteria for the residents unless it was reflected in a progress note. CD #450 stated the
facility physician had a tendency to order antibiotics as did the hospitals.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 10:56 A.M. with the DON verified being a participant in staff training and confirmed
there was no known staff training on antibiotic stewardship. The DON confirmed they lacked documentation
for the assessment and evaluation of the necessity and appropriateness for ongoing antibiotic use.
