ABSTRACT:
A cart on casters is provided for dispensing medication to patients as in a nursing home. The cart is provided with a plurality of drawers, each of which is divided into a plurality of storage areas or compartments. Slide members are mounted on top of the partitions, and are provided with recesses for holding medicine cups and with cross slots for holding patient identification cards. Patient medication cards and blister pack medication cards are stored in an adjacent storage area or compartment in the same order as and in close contiguous relation with the cups and patient cards. Each slide member can be pulled forwardly of its respective drawer for more ready access for dispensing of medication from the cups. An additional dispensing area is provided for medicines that are dispensed as needed including pivotable plastic cups which are turned as soon as the medication has been dispensed so that it is apparent that dispensing has taken place.
