Corridor Clutter

We have a Pediatric ward with some anorexic patients and the nurses have removed some of the furniture from the room and placed them in the corridor to help prevent the patients from hiding their food and misrepresenting their meal status.  Is there a discrepancy with the Life Safety Code by having the furniture in the corridor?

This is definitely against Life Safety Code and TJC standards.  The Life Safety Code is pretty inflexible and this would classify as prohibited clutter.
