Nursing (DON) revealed the expectation is the nurses sees that vital signs are obtained prior to medication administration with parameters, and then the nurse documents the vital signs either in a progress note or on the vital signs tab within the electronic medical record. The DON stated the nurses are taught that the expectation is to document the vital signs if the medication needs to be held. When the nurses are administering medications and they decide to withhold a medication, they select a corresponding chart code to indicate why the medication was held. The DON reported there is no trigger to document if the vital sign is within parameters. A policy for medication administration was requested on 07/23/25 and 07/24/25 and was not received during the survey.Review of the American Nurses Association standards of Professional Nursing Practice revealed all professional nurses should maintain accurate and timely documentation of patient care, including assessments, interventions, and outcomes.
