At the end of each shift,the contents of the locked cabinet are counted together by one nurse from each shift.A nurse who is willing to take the word of another nurse from the previous shift,without verifying the count,risks being held accountable for any shortages or discrepancies,and may be found guilty of falsifying records.If you go along with her,you are falsifying records.
