Finding: On 9/11/17 at 7:30 a.m., the surveyor observed the licensed medication/treatment cart in the A-Unit corridor, up against the wall near Room 20. The second drawer of the treatment cart was opened approximately 3 inches and lancets were seen in the drawer. The cart contained lancets, insulin needles, insulins, and treatment supplies. There were wandering residents in the corridor and the treatment nurse was not in eye view of the cart. The Director of Nursing Services confirmed that the medication/treatment cart was left open and with a drawer opened.	2020-09-01
