He stated the SDC was present at the facility at the time and began an investigation to locate the missing medications and after a full search of the facility and investigation the missing narcotics were confirmed.

The Administrator stated he reported the allegation to the appropriate agencies and the facility replaced the missing narcotics.

The Administrator stated the facility was unable to substantiate the allegation and did not report Nurse #11 to the North Carolina Board of Nursing because the facility was unable to speak with Nurse #11 about the missing narcotics.

The Administrator confirmed that the facility was unable to locate Resident #38's and Resident #83's missing narcotics, that the narcotics were removed from the facility, and that Nurse #11 was the named nurse in the allegation.
