Ulysses Tayocnog, MSN, RN, director of case management at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, California, has 20 years of clinical and case management experience. He has successfully mentored and coached employees, leaders, and nursing students to help improve their competencies, communication, accountability, and team interactions.
Michael Wasserman, MD, CMD, chief medical officer, Rockport Healthcare Services, has more than 25 years of experience in the senior healthcare service industry with expertise in the long-term care continuum, practice management, and geriatric medicine. He was the co-founder of Senior Care of Colorado, one of the largest primary care geriatric private practices in the country, before selling it to IPC in 2010. Dr. Wasserman is fellowship trained in geriatric medicine from the University of California, Los Angeles, and is board certified in both internal medicine and geriatric medicine.
Learning Objectives
• Determine appropriate diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in nursing home (NH) residents
• Appropriate labs and use of antibiotics (ABX)• Defining a fever• Asymptomatic bacteriuria versus UTI• What to do next? Relaying UTI symptoms to the
physician: – Change in Condition – SBAR

It’s NOT Always a UTI: Diagnosing Infections in Nursing Home Residents
Michael R. Wasserman, MDChief Medical Director, Rockport Healthcare Services
• Sadie Smith, 106-year-old woman • Resides in Shady Acres Nursing Home• Ambulates with use of a walker, but recently
started demonstrating cognitive impairment• Incontinent of urine, wears adult diapers• Responded well to toileting program• Not on medications• Suffers from macular degeneration and is
hard of hearing
Case Example: Background
10
Does Sadie have a POLST*?
• Do not hospitalize?• No antibiotics?• Comfort care?• What would Sadie want?• Respecting resident’s autonomy and dignity
*POLST=Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment11
• Two days ago, Sadie complained of feeling tired and achy
• Temperature 97.5° F and blood pressure 180/60
• Urinalysis and complete blood count (CBC) were ordered
Case Example: Change in Condition
12
Scenario 1:Over the next few days, Sadie was monitored and began feeling better.
Scenario 2:Sadie was started on Amoxicillin 500mg POx7 days. Two weeks later, she began developing watery stools, four times daily.
Case Example: Treatment

Why Focus on UTI?
15
Why Focus on UTI?
• 30–60% of antibiotics used in skilled nursing facility are for suspected UTIs.1
• 40–75% of antibiotics used may be unnecessary or inappropriate.2
• The point prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in long-term care residents range from 25–50%.3

Create a Baseline: Assess Your Patients
• What is their activity level?
• Are they fatigued? • What is their
temperature? • What is their cognitive
status?• Are they having pain? • Has anything changed?
18
Detecting an Infection: Change in Condition
• New or increased confusion• Incontinence• Falls• Deteriorating mobility• Reduced food intake • Failure to cooperate with staff
19
Defining a Fever
A single oral temperature >100° F
Repeated oral temperatures >99.5° F
Increase of >2° F above baseline temperature
21
Most Useful Diagnostic Labs to Identify Infection
• An elevated white blood count (WBC) count of >14K.
• A left shift >6 percent is indicative of a bacterial infection.
• The higher the WBC count and/or the higher the bandemia(bands), the greater the likelihood of a bacterial infection.

“Pyuria Among Chronically Incontinent but Otherwise Asymptomatic NH Residents”
Design: Prospective, descriptive case series
Setting: Six NHs
Participants: 214 chronically incontinent, but otherwise asymptomatic, NH residents who were enrolled in a clinical intervention trial for urinary incontinence
24
To determine the prevalence of pyuria and its relationship to bacteriuria in a representative sample of chronically incontinent NH residents
Objective
J Am Geriatr Soc. 1996 Apr; 44(4):420-3, Ouslander JG, Schapira M, Schenelle JF, Fingold S, Pyuria among chronically incontinent but otherwise asymptomatic nursing home residents, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8636589Accessed on: March 15, 2016

214 urine specimens were collected by a validated, clean-catch technique. Each specimen underwent dipstick testing for leukocyte esterase, microscopic urinalysis to determine the number of WBCs per high-power field of centrifuged urine, and quantitative urine culture using standard laboratory techniques.
Measures

26
• Prevalence of pyuria: 45 percent, (> 10 WBC/high power field [HPF])
• Prevalence of bacteriuria: 43 percent, (>100,000 colony forming units [CFUs])
• Bacteriuria: 59 percent with pyuria• No bacteriuria: 34 percent with pyuria • Pyuria: 56 percent had bacteriuria• No pyuria: 31 percent had bacteriuria• Leukocyte esterase positive: sensitivity of 83 percent
and a specificity of 52 percent for pyuria on microscopic urinalysis
Results

27
• Pyuria is common among incontinent NH residents
• Must be cautious in interpreting pyuria
• Using pyuria can result in unnecessary use of antibiotics
• Bacteriuria has similar issues

Asymptomatic Bacteriuria
• A positive urine culture does not equal a UTI.• Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) only denotes
bacteria in the urine.• A UTI requires bacteriuria associated with
specific symptoms arising from the urinary tract.
Timothy J. Benton, MD, Rodney B. Young, MD, and Stephanie C. Leeper, MD, FACP, Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in the Nursing Home http://www.annalsoflongtermcare.com/article/5962 Accessed on: March 15, 201630
Summary
ASB does not always equal UTI!
Physicians must be thorough in their testing and diagnosis.
The elderly, especially those residing in NHs, have a higher incidence of ASB than
other populations.

Is Urine the Answer? What to Look for…
Two of the following
Acute dysuria?
CVATSuprapubic painHematuriaNew or increased incontinenceNew or increased urgencyNew or increased frequency
No UTIUTI
Yes No
Yes No
NoYes Yes
Fever, ↑ WBC/bands?
Fever, ↑ WBC/bands?
One of the following
33
Other Infectious Etiologies That May Cause Fever and Elevated WBC
• Pneumonia: hypoxemia or tachypnea; abnormal chest x-ray
• Viral respiratory infection• Skin or soft tissue infection• Gastrointestinal infection
34
Antibiograms
• Result of an antibiotic sensitivity test
• In vitro sensitivity
• Correlation of in vitro to in vivo sensitivity is often high enough for the test to be clinically useful
• Facility specific!

Risk of Clostridium difficile
• One of the largest risks from inappropriate ABX
• Significant morbidity and mortality in NHs
• Endemic pathogen in NHs• Prevention and treatment
evolving– Appropriate ABX treatment– Use of probiotics– Infection control precautions– Fecal transplantation
37
Probiotics as Prevention and Treatment of C. diff
• Evidence is mixed• Core common benefits• Prevention during antibiotic treatment
– Saccharomyces boullardii
• Treatment after antibiotics – Lactobacillus should be okay
• Monitor for side effects (e.g., constipation)• Benefits seem to outweigh risks
38
Conclusion
UTI and ASB are not mutually
exclusive
Antibiotic stewardship and the use of
probiotics may be effective in the treatment and
prevention of C. diff
Assessing your patient properly and
using appropriate labs are essential to
diagnostics
It is rarely just one diagnosis in frail
elderly!
