The NP stated she was notified when she was at the facility the morning of 05/01/2025 that the medication had run out. The NP stated it was zero concern for her and stated Resident #1 was drug seeking. The NP stated that based on her assessment Resident #1 did not have pain. The NP stated Resident #1 had regular Tylenol if she needed it. The NP stated it was not a dire emergency and if it was, the facility could have called the on-call number but that was not an appropriate thing to call on-call for.
