Violation Number Comment Rule 705 All medicines, including refrigerated and unrefrigerated, were not kept in locked storage. In the kitchen, a bag of Halls cough drops was observed in an unlocked cabinet above the counter beside the refrigerator. The cough drops belonged to the operator. .1719(a)(5) The violation observed was corrected during the visit. Child care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4)(d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. Technical Assistance was provided on the following: Storage of medication- You moved the bag of Halls cough drops to locked storage during the visit. I suggested you keep all medications that are not emergency medications in the locked closet at all times. I also suggested that you immediately place medications back in the locked closet after use to ensure they are stored properly at all times. Medications including prescription and non-prescription items shall be stored in a locked cabinet or other locked container. Designated emergency medications shall be stored out of reach of children at least five feet high but are not required to be in locked storage. Consultation: (The following items discussed were in compliance today.) -We discussed the environment during nap time. I discussed with you that nap time should not be too dark and that lighting should be provided to allow for adequate supervision and offer assistance to a child if needed. Also, music or sound machines played during nap time should not be so loud that you are unable to hear children when assistance is needed. During today’s visit, plenty of light was available in the rooms where children napped and you were using the exhaust fan for white noise, which was not too loud.
