During an interview with RN #5 on 06/12/2024 at 11:58 AM, she said she had ordered RI #57's oxycodone on 10/17/2023. RN #5 said on 10/18/2023 she checked the cart to confirm delivery and did not find it. RN #5 said she called the pharmacy and was told it had been delivered the night before and signed by RN #7.

She said she and other nurses searched and did not find the medication, so she reported to the Director of Nursing (DON).

She said she told the DON she counted with the RN #18, because RN #7 had left early. RN #5 said the counts were accurate.

She said later the same day when RI #47 asked for pain medication, she went to the cart for oxycodone and there was none there, she again called the pharmacy and was told the medication delivered on 10/13/2023 and was also signed by RN #7. RN #5 said the facility was unsure about what happened to the medications and that neither resident missed a dose of the pain medication.

An unsuccessful attempt was made to contact RN #7 on 06/12/2024 at 12:15 PM.

On 06/12/2024 at 12:20 PM an interview was conducted with RN #18. RN #18 said she worked the same night as RN #7 but worked the other side of facility. RN #18 said when medications were delivered RN #7 received them and signed for them. RN #18 said she went over and got the medications for her hall later in the shift. RN #18 said RN #7 left before her shift was over and RN #7 and herself counted the medications and the count was accurate. RN #18 said she became aware of the missing medications when she did her statement.
