Tips for med pass followed by state

[anonymous09]

State is coming soon to the LTC facility that I work at and I am just wondering what are some tips for doing med pass in front of a surveyor. I am a new nurse only have been in orientation for 4 days so I'm hoping that they won't want me working while state is there being that I am new and will most likely forget something but just in case I do work when state is there I'm just looking for advice from others who have gone through this or are going to go through this.

Make sure you lock your cart!!!

I worked in a ALF as a med aide and we got dinged because our LPN and our director did not ensure the locks were working on the draws. (Resident had their meds in their rooms, supposed to be double locked. One lock on the draw and the door to the room locked) it's easy to forget.
