him if I can. I went to lunch about 8-8:14 p.m. for 30 minutes and came back around 8:45 p.m. I could not
even get to the cart before the Resident R1 , came up to me using profanity and calling me names and

to the state. I was called a N with a very hard R and how I'm nothing and I don't deserve to be handling
medication.
Review of the statement of the supervisor on duty, Employee E4 dated May 25, 10:30 p.m. revealed The
administrator called me around 9:52 p.m. to inquire why it took too long for [Resident R1] to get his pain
medication. I immediately went to [Resident R1] and asked how long it had been since he asked for the
pain medication. [Resident R1] stated that it's been 2 hours since he asked. I asked [Resident R1] why he
didn't let me since the medication was taking too long to be administered. [Resident R1] said [the nurse,
Employee E3] used racial slurs on him and that he wanted the medicine. I asked the nurse why giving the
medication was taking too long. The nurse said [Resident R1] had pushed the door against her, so she
went to the secure mudroom to avoid confrontation. When I was in the medroom with the nurse, trying to
give him the pain medication. [Resident R1] was constantly banging on the door and shouting. I told him to
calm down as we were in the process of giving him his medication. He continued knocking at the door
stating that he wanted the nurse fired and that this was his sixth complaint to the state. Medication was
given by the supervisor around 9:58 p.m. [The Resident R1] threw the medication cup at toward the
supervisors.
Based on the statements and a review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated May 25, 2025,
Resident R1 last received his medication at 3:09 p.m. He was eligible for the next dose after 7:09 p.m.
Resident R1 requested Oxycodone at approximately 8:00 p.m.; however, the facility did not administer the
medication until 9:58 p.m., resulting in a delay of 1 hour and 58 minutes.
An interview with the Director of Nursing, Employee E2 and the Administrator, Employee E1 on June 23,
2025, at 1:47 p.m. confirmed that Licensed Nurse, Employee E3 failed to administer the prescribed pain
medication in accordance with the physician's order.
