Clinical Question

The focus of our group is to discuss the importance of the nursing home antimicrobial

stewardship module. Nursing homes have been helpful to our communities for a long time by

providing nursing services to elderly adults and children as well. However, they have

encountered many obstacles hindering their service delivery, such as inaccurate medicine, for

example. In particular, our research will concentrate on finding a potential solution to the

issue of prescribing incorrect antibiotics. Antimicrobial stewardship appears to be the most

viable solution to the problem. Many hospitals in the United States are reporting the excess

administration of wrong antibiotics by nurses working at nursing homes. According to

Cantudo Cuenca et al. (2020), 75% of antibiotics are inappropriately prescribed in nursing

homes (Cantudo Cuenca et al., 2020). The PICOT question for the paper is: How does the

nursing home antimicrobial stewardship module helps in avoiding inappropriate

administration of antibiotics? Careful use of the nursing home antimicrobial stewardship

module suffices to eliminate or reducing the administration of wrong antibiotics.

Despite the irrefutable advantages, nursing homes bring to the health of many

children and the elderly, the inappropriate administration of antibiotics necessitates careful

examination and research to ensure reduced deaths and medical complications. According to

Härkänen et al. (2020), 46% of the nursing home discrepancies were due to omissions, such

as the administration of wrong antibiotics since they were the main drug administered.

Patients were found taking different medications from the ones prescribed before their

discharge to nursing home (Härkänen et al., 2020). It makes evident that most healthcare

professionals, particularly nurses, are incompetent or do not follow the nursing home

antimicrobial stewardship module. Finding a possible solution on the high number of

inappropriate administration of antibiotics is essential. According to Houser (2018), finding a

solution to medical challenges enhances the elimination or reduction of many other related
