Interview on 12/30/25 at 4:30 P.M. with RN #431 revealed she spoke with Infectious Disease (ID) Physician #809 on 11/18/25 and reviewed the wound culture results with him and then received a verbal order for Amoxicillin-Pot Clavulanate 875-125 mg, one tablet every 12 hours for 14 days for proteus mirabilis wound infection. RN #431confirmed she entered the order for Resident #41's antibiotic on 11/18/25 at 11:58 A.M. and put it in to start the antibiotic on 11/19/25 at 7:00 P.M. When questioned why she put in the start date and time of 11/19/25 at 7:00 P.M., she stated she wanted to make sure there was enough time for the antibiotic to be delivered from the pharmacy. When questioned if the antibiotic was available in the facility's contingency box of medications provided by the pharmacy, she stated she did not look and just assumed it was not available. When questioned if she notified the physician of the start date and time of the antibiotic,
she stated she did not notify the physician. When questioned what the facility protocol was when an order was given to start an antibiotic, she stated antibiotics should be started within hours of the order being given by the physician. When asked why she did not notify ID Physician #809 on 11/17/25 at 3:00 P.M. at
the time when the wound culture and sensitivity results were reported to the facility, she stated it was the end of her day and thought it could wait until the next morning.
