Medications should be stored following these best practices:
1. Temperature Control: Store medications as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Use refrigerators with temperature monitoring systems for drugs that need refrigeration. 2. Labeling: Clearly label all medications with the name, dosage, and expiration date. 3. Segregation: Separate high-alert medications from others to prevent errors. 4. Security: Keep medications in locked cabinets or rooms accessible only to authorized personnel.
