Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that the treatment cart was
safely locked up when not in the vicinity of the nurse and not in use to prevent tampering and accidental
hazard. This failure has the potential to affect all 28 residents residing on the 2nd floor of the facility.

of the nurse. V5 RN (Registered Nurse) was made aware of this observation and when asked about the
facility protocol/policy on medication cart storage; V5 identified the cart as a treatment cart and stated I (V5)
don't know why the cart is not locked. V5 called V8 (Care Plan Manager) the floor supervisor and showed
the treatment unlocked cart to V8. V8 stated the treatment cart is broken after checking the cart and stated
we must rectify this because the cart must be locked always when not in use.

about facility policy/protocol on medication /treatment cart storage; V2 stated in part that all
medication/treatment carts should be locked when not in use and must be placed where the nurses can
visually see it.
