An original urology appointment had to be re-scheduled due to transportation issues. The resident currently had COVID-19 which resulted in the urology appointment being placed on hold.

Review of the facility policy titled Antibiotic Stewardship, dated 10/21/17 revealed it was the centers policy to maintain an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) with the mission of promoting the appropriate use of antibiotics to treat infections and reduce possible adverse events associated with antibiotic use.
