Controlled Substance storage

Hello,

Could you please share how your organization handles the storage of controlled substances once they have been removed from automated dispensing cabinets by nurses?
-Is there a defined time that the nurse must administer, return, or waste the controlled substance after removing it from the automated dispensing cabinet?
-Can controlled substances be stored in the drawers of Computers on Wheels?

Thank you.
