During an interview and observation on 06/25/24 at 9:55 AM CNA A opened the top drawer of the 600 hall cart and stated if a medication cart was left unlocked someone could take medications, either residents or staff, and it would be bad for that to happen.

The Wound Care nurse opened unlocked drawer of the 600 hall cart. The Wound Care nurse stated the cart was unlocked but it only held medications that were for topical wounds only.
