The Administrator stated she interviewed CNA #859 who had reported he took the necklace off Resident #146 because it was rubbing the resident's neck. The Administrator confirmed CNA #859 placed the necklace on the bathroom sink and then the necklace was moved for some reason to the resident's nightstand where it disappeared.
