Is your cart locked and you still have to do this check? Where I am the cart has one of those break-tab locks so you can see that it's "sealed"; when it's opened it's broken and you have to get a new one. Materials management stocks and locks the cart. We have to daily checks (defibrillator charged and tested, suction working, cart locked, etc) but as long as the cart is locked we don't have to go through it. Expiration dates for pharmacy and supplies are on a sheet on the top with the earliest expiration dates, so as long as today's date is before the earliest expiration and the cart's locked, you're good to go!

Every two weeks a nurse has to check the crash cart and make sure everything is there,is there a fast and dirty way to do this?
Once a month a nurse has to check the expiration dates on everything in the crash cart,is there a fast and dirty way to do this?
Thank you,
