LPAs Moleski and Williams observed a locked cabinet for the storage of medication. LPAs Moleski and Williams observed insulin needles in the refrigerator in boxes on top of a safe. Additionally, the safe, which contained more medications, was closed but it opened freely because the licensee did not scramble the lock.
