p.m. and stated I messaged our office manager and Staff C, PCP/MD again, I'm sorry, it looks like they
were having trouble with our system. I stressed how urgent this was to them. The DON and NHA stated the
Medical Director of the facility was Staff C, PCP/MD, Resident #3 and #6's physician. The DON stated the
Oxycodone 15 mg was not found in the Emergency Drug Kit. The DON stated she had a conversation with
Staff C, PCP/MD on 07/21/2024 and that they had several scripts that needed signing. It was the coming
into the weekend. Staff C, PCP/MD was informed he filled out the scripts last week, but it was incorrect for
Resident #3. She explained again about the Oxycodone vs. Oxycontin. Staff C, PCP/MD stated he would
look into it and wrote scripts we needed that day. The NHA and DON stated they were unaware of Resident
