Montereau Inc: Drug Storage Violations Found - OK
Federal inspectors found two of the facility's treatment carts left unsecured during their October complaint investigation at Montereau nursing home.
On the second floor, LPN #2 abandoned an unlocked cart next to the nursing station while talking to a nursing student, then left the area entirely. The cart contained insulin, Narcan nasal spray, lidocaine pain patches, antiseptics, and wound cleaners.
The nurse told inspectors the key was kept "under the trash bags in the open compartment on the side of the cart" for "easy access." When asked why the cart was unlocked and unattended, the nurse "did not have an answer."
LPN #2 walked away again without locking the cart. Another nurse passing by locked it and told the colleague to "Keep that cart locked."
The next day, inspectors found the first floor North treatment cart unlocked around a corner from the nurses' desk, with the lock facing away from staff view. The Director of Nursing walked directly past the unsecured cart without acknowledging it.
LPN #1 admitted forgetting to lock the cart when stopped by inspectors.
The Director of Nursing told inspectors that carts should be locked when out of sight and keys kept on the nurses themselves. She said she monitored cart security by completing rounds, despite walking past the unlocked cart without noticing.
The facility operates six treatment carts and six medication carts throughout the building. Federal regulations require all medications and medical supplies to be stored in locked compartments to prevent unauthorized access by residents, visitors, or unauthorized staff.
A nursing assistant was observed taking gloves from the top of the unlocked first-floor cart before entering a resident's room.
