Nursing Instructor Access to Medications

What process do you follow at your organization to facilitate medication administration by a student nurse?
Are instructors granted access to the ADC?
If you have bedside storage, can they access the medication drawers?
If no to the above, do you allow the primary RN to remove from ADC or drawer and hand off to the instructor for administration, or is administration driven solely by the primary RN?

Thank you!
