several doses as medication not delivered from Pharmacy.
Okay to continue (antibiotics).
There was nothing in the note to indicate the provider had been made aware R3 did not receive four doses of her antibiotics until 05/29/25 (eight days after the resident's first missed dose of antibiotics).
The survey investigation team attempted to reach R3/R3's family member (FM)1 on 09/22/25 at 3:00 PM for interview but was not able to conduct an interview with R3 or FM1 prior to survey exit on 09/24/25.During an interview with the [NAME] President of Clinical Services (VPCS) on 09/24/25 at 1:35 PM, she confirmed R3's physicians should have been aware of the facility's failure to administer R3's antibiotics between 05/21/25 and 05/25/25 and the resident's record was expected to reflect the physician was aware of the missed medication doses along with attempts to address the situation.
She stated the ID provider was expected to have been informed R3 did not receive four doses of IV antibiotics prior to 05/29/25 and this was also expected to be reflected in the resident's record.
The VPCS indicated she thought R3's provider was aware of not receiving ordered antibiotic each day between 05/21/25 and 05/25/25 because new orders were put in R3's record on several of the dates to indicate a new start date for the antibiotics.
The VPCS confirmed the primary reason R3 had been admitted to the facility was for the administration of IV Cefazolin to treat her osteomyelitis.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 09/24/25 at 2:37 PM, he confirmed he was aware R3's IV antibiotic administration was delayed by several days and stated the physicians were expected to be aware of missed medication doses and resident records were expected to reflect this.
The survey team attempted to reach R3's physician for interview prior to survey exit on 09/24/25, however, during an interview conducted with the VPCS on 09/24/25 at 3:08 PM, she indicated the resident's physician was not available for interview on that date. N.J.A.C. 8:39-27.1(a)
