Finding includes: During the environmental observation on 1/24/12, two medication carts identified as 1 and 2 were noted inside the clean linen room which was unlocked. While medication cart 1 was locked, cart 2 however was unlocked so that all medications designated for residents in room [ROOM NUMBER] through 125 were readily accessible to unauthorized individuals. In addition, several house supply medications including Atrovent and Albuterol nebulizer solutions, an injectable vial of Dextrose 50% solution, and an assortment of syringes and needles were kept in other unlocked compartments of the cart. During an interview on 1/24/12, an administrative nursing staff stated that because of the lack of space, the clean linen room was being used to store the medications carts to keep the hallways free from obstruction. The staff added however that the medication carts should be locked at all times when unattended by staff. 2017-01-01
