F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm administration for Digoxin until 10/14/21. Resident #2 was sent to the hospital on [DATE] (for an unrelated event) and returned on 10/18/21. When a resident goes out to the hospital and returns, the medications and physician orders are reconciled to make ensure the continuality of care. Usually, the follow-up time frame for the recommendations is within 2 weeks. The DON confirmed it is the nursing standard of practice to measure a resident's pulse prior to administrating Digoxin. Residents Affected - Few An interview on 10/22/21 at 9:54 a.m. with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) revealed that prior to administering medication, a resident's vitals are taken including the pulse. Related to Digoxin, Staff A stated currently Resident #2 did not have pulse parameter physician orders for Digoxin administration. Staff A, LPN said, I would withhold it [Digoxin] if her pulse was below 50, or is it 60? Honestly, I would not give it if her pulse was below 50. A follow-up interview on 10/22/21 at 12:58 p.m. with the DON revealed the standard of practice is that Digoxin is not administered if a resident's pulse is less than 60.
