Summary
The facility failed to develop a care plan for a resident who required treatment for an infection using a Peripherally Inserted Central Line (PICC) for intravenous antibiotics. The resident was admitted from the hospital for further care of a left heel wound and had physician's orders to receive 1 gram of Ertapenem daily through the PICC line. However, there was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical record indicating that a care plan was developed for the care and treatment of the PICC line, infection, or IV antibiotics. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator.
