AK used a magnetic drain plug - wait until your first oil and oil filter change and replace the stock (non-magnetic) plug with the magnetic one, and place the filter magnet on the new oil filter.

VERY surprised "if the oil filter came out with what seems like sand in it" - modern engine manufacturing tolerances are way too tight for that type of thing. If it was normal for that type of debris to be present in a new engine, Nissan would tell you to do the first oil change within the first 500 miles (or probably sooner).
