Montereau Inc: Pressure Ulcer Care Failures - OK
Federal inspectors documented two separate incidents at Montereau on consecutive days in October where staff abandoned secured medication carts without locking them.
On the facility's second floor, LPN #2 left a treatment cart unlocked next to the nursing station while talking to a nursing student, then walked away entirely out of sight. The cart contained insulin, Narcan, lidocaine patches, and topical antiseptics.
The nurse told inspectors the key was kept hidden under trash bags in an open compartment on the side of the cart for "easy access." When asked why the cart was unlocked and unattended, the nurse said they "did not have an answer" but acknowledged medications were stored inside.
The cart remained unlocked and unattended for at least six minutes. Another nurse eventually walked by and locked it, telling the first nurse to "keep that cart locked."
The next day, inspectors found a similar violation on the first floor. A treatment cart sat unlocked around the corner from the nurses' desk, with the lock facing away from staff view. A nursing assistant stopped to grab gloves from the top while the cart remained unsecured.
LPN #1 told inspectors they "forgot to lock the cart" when confronted about the violation.
The Director of Nursing acknowledged carts should be locked whenever out of sight and that keys should be kept on staff members, not hidden in compartments. The administrator said they monitored cart security through facility rounds.
The DON walked directly past the unlocked first-floor cart without acknowledging the security breach, according to inspection records.
