F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of the infection control log, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure antibiotic use was appropriate and infections met treatment criteria. This affected one resident (#25) of two residents reviewed for antibiotic use. The facility census was 79. Residents Affected - Few Finding included: Record review revealed Resident #25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, abnormal posture, dysphagia, pleural effusion, diabetes mellitus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Review of Resident #25's urinalysis with culture and sensitivity, dated 01/15/24, revealed greater than 100,000 CFU/ml Klebsiella Pneumonia (bacteria). Review of Resident #25's physician order, dated 01/20/24, revealed the order to administer ciprofloxacin 500 milligrams (mg) one tablet by mouth, two times a day, for urinary tract infection until 01/30/24. Review of the Infection Control Log, dated January 2024, revealed the resident was ordered ciprofloxacin for a UTI, with a start date of 01/20/24 and a stop date of 01/30/24. Review of a communication message, dated 01/24/24, revealed the physician was notified that the antibiotic did not meet criteria for use based on Resident #25's absence of symptoms, aside from the abnormal urinalysis. Further review indicated the physician selected the option to continue the antibiotic. Interview on 04/12/24 at 11:32 A.M., Infection Preventionist/Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #265 verified there was no indication for the use of ciprofloxacin as the resident's lack of symptoms and laboratory findings did not meet McGeer Criteria (criteria used to determine an infection) for treatment of a UTI. LPN #265 further stated that she notified the physician, however, he chose to continue the antibiotic. Review of the facility policy titled, Antibiotic Stewardship Program, dated 05/30/23, revealed it is the policy of this facility to implement an antibiotic stewardship program as part of the facility's overall infection prevention and control program. The facility uses updated McGeer criteria or other surveillance tools to define infections.
