Resident 1 stated it made them feel upset and frustrated. Resident 1 stated they did not want to get out of bed without their pain medication. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/26, at 1:37 p.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1, Resident 1's Medication Administration Record, dated January 2026 was reviewed. The Record indicated Resident 1 did not receive Oxycodone on 1/21/26.
