What happened
In patient room. That patient got sent to ICU so afterwards I began to break down the room to prep for housekeeping. I noticed that there was 2 meds that was left on the countertop. I attempted to close the med box so I can put away the meds. I attempted to close the med box so I can put away the meds to adhere to policy about meds being put away or handed off to the nurse for room cleaning.
