Summary
A resident with a diagnosis including urinary tract infection (UTI) was readmitted to the facility in February 2024. Medical records show that the provider prescribed Bactrim 800-160 mg to be administered twice daily for 7 days, totaling 14 doses. However, review of the March 2025 Medication Administration Record revealed that the resident received 17 doses of Bactrim between 3/12 and 3/20, which is 3 doses more than what was ordered by the provider. During an interview, the Director of Nursing Services confirmed that only 14 doses should have been administered as prescribed.
