Infections in nursing home patients are often treated empirically without adequate diagnostic evaluation. Most infections involve the urinary tract, respiratory tract, or skin and soft tissue. Patients who need IV therapy are usually transferred to a hospital; nursing homes may lack appropriate staff and cannot employ an infusion company because of reimbursement issues.
