High Alert Meds in Crash Cart

Does anyone put high alert labels on medications in the crash cart? A Joint Commission surveyor cited one of our ambulatory clinics for not having medications in the crash cart labeled. This is something I have never done and is not currently done within our system. Trying to see if this is surveyor specific or if we're out in left field somewhere. Appreciate any thoughts.
