This had the potential for the development of antibiotic-resistance organisms and side effects related to the use of an antibiotic.Findings include:Review of the McGreer criteria located at https://hqin.org/resource/revised-mcgeer-criteria-for-infection-surveillance-checklist/ the criteria for prescribing an antibiotic for a UTI without an indwelling catheter revealed at least one of the following signs or symptoms must be met, acute dysuria (discomfort when urinating), fever or leukocytosis (high level of white blood cells indicating infection), suprapubic pain, gross hematuria (blood in the urine), new or marked increase in incontinence, new or marked increase in urgency, new or marked increase in frequency. If no fever or leukocytosis, then two of the following must be met, suprapubic pain, gross hematuria, new or marked increase in incontinence, new or marked increase in urgency, new or marked increase in frequency and at least one of the following, microbiologic criteria greater than 105 cfu/mL (colony-forming units per milliliter/a common threshold used to indicate the presence of a significant bacterial infection), of no more than two species of organisms in a voided urine sample, or greater than 102 cfu/mL of any organism(s) in a specimen collected.Review of an undated, untitled CDC document located at https://www.cdc.gov/antibiotic-use/hcp/core-elements/nursing-homes-antibiotic-stewardship.html revealed, The Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship for Nursing Homes indicated . Improving the use of antibiotics in healthcare to protect patients and reduce the threat of antibiotic resistance is a national priority . Antibiotic stewardship refers to a set of commitments and actions designed to 'optimize the treatment of infections while reducing the adverse events associated with antibiotic use' . CDC also recommends that all nursing homes take steps to improve antibiotic prescribing practices and reduce inappropriate use . Nursing homes monitor both antibiotic use practices and outcomes related to antibiotics in order to guide practice changes and track the impact of new interventions. Below are examples of antibiotic use and outcome measures . Process measures: Tracking how and why antibiotics are prescribed . Antibiotic use measures . Tracking how often and how many antibiotics are prescribed . Antibiotic outcome measures . Tracking the adverse outcomes . Review of the facility policy titled, Infection Prevent and Control Program dated 8/2019 revealed . 8. Antibiotic Stewardship, a. Culture reports, sensitivity data, and antibiotic usage reviews are included in surveillance activities. b. Medical criteria and standardized definitions of infections are used to help recognize and manage infections. c. Antibiotic usage is evaluated and practitioners are provided feedback on reviews. Review of R80's admission Record, located under the Face Sheet tab of the electronic medical record (EMR), revealed R80 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included neurogenic bladder, urinary retention, and recurrent UTIs.Review of R80's Progress Notes dated 7/18/2025 located in the EMR under the Progress Notes tab revealed the resident had cloudy urine with a foul odor, and that the resident was prone to UTIs. An order was received for a Urinalysis, Culture, and Sensitivity (UA/CS).Review of R80's Physician Orders, located under the Orders tab of the EMR, revealed a physician's order, dated 7/18/2025 for Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim (Bactrim/Antibiotic) 400 milligrams (mg)-80 mg tablet to be given twice a day for seven days with a start date of 7/18/2025 for a UTI. There was no evidence that the resident had a fever, suprapubic pain, blood in the urine, or an increase in incontinence or urgency. The antibiotic was ordered and started before the results of the UA/CS were received.Review of R80's Lab Results Report dated 7/21/2025 and provided by the facility revealed the UA collected on 7/18/2025 showed a possible contamination and another UA/CS was collected on 7/21/2025. The final report was issued on 7/24/2025 at 8:51 am for microbiology sensitivity.Review of R80's Progress Notes, dated 7/24/2025, revealed the UA/CS results from the second UA/CS were called into the PCP (primary care physician), and the antibiotic was changed to Zosyn 3.375g [grams] IV [intravenously] every eight hours for 10 days for UTI.During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 11:21 am, the Infection Preventionist (IP) said that nurses would call the physician for a UA depending on a resident's symptoms by either calling or leaving a message with the physician's call system. She stated that the physician would determine whether or not to order a CS to the UA. The IP confirmed the facility used the McGreer criteria when completing a UA/CS and ordering antibiotics for residents when a UTI was suspected or confirmed. She said R80 was ordered an antibiotic on the day the first UA/CS was collected on 7/18/2025. When the report came back on 7/21/2025 it was suspected there was contamination, so a new urine had to be collected. She confirmed however the antibiotic was already started on 7/18/2025. The new UA/CS was collected on 7/21/2025 with the results received on 7/24/2025. That was when it was discovered the wrong antibiotic was given based on the new UA/CS. The IP further revealed that this happens often with the physician ordering antibiotics before they have the UA/CS back or even if they don't meet the McGreer criteria for a UTI.
