4677	THE TERRACES OF PHOENIX	35003	7550 NORTH 16TH STREET	PHOENIX	AZ	85020	2014-03-28	431	D	0	1	25SJ11	Based on observation, staff interviews and policy review, the facility failed to ensure that medications were secured. Findings include: During a medication pass observation on March 27, 2014 at 3:15 p.m., a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) walked away from the medication cart and went to the nurses station and left the cart unlocked. Visitors and a CNA (certified nurse assistant) were around the medication cart at the time it was unlocked. Following the observation an interview was conducted with the LPN who stated she should never leave the cart unlocked. During another medication pass observation on March 28, 2014 at 7:45 a.m., a LPN left a bottle of Humalog insulin out on top of the medication cart and went into a resident's room. Visitors were observed in the hallway near the cart. Following the observation, an interview was conducted with the LPN who stated that she should have lock up the insulin inside the cart. Review of a facility policy included that compartments (including, but not limited to, drawers, cabinets, rooms, refrigerators, carts, and boxes) containing drugs and biological shall be locked when not in use, and trays or carts used to transport such items shall not be left unattended if open or otherwise potentially available to others.	2017-07-01
