AP2 signed AV's 3 Oxycodone tablets out at approximately 4:00 PM in the AV's Narcotic Long and AP2's initialed on AV's MAR as administered by AP2 April 06, 2024. AV's April 2024 MAR Chart orders are for 1 Oxycodone at dinner and AP2 signed out 3 tablets. AV never receive AV's Oxycodone tablet from AP2. A search was conducted inside AP2's medication carts that housed AV's Oxycodone and 3 Oxycodone tablets were not found.

The facility failed to protect AV from financial exploitation which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
