At my facility the process is to take a resident's BP prior to administration of their anti-hypertensives x 7 days when they're first admitted. If the 7 days show they have normal or high BP ranges then it goes to a weekly BP check and the nurses are no longer required to take their BP before administering scheduled BP meds. Just wondering if this is the policy at any other facility. The reason I can't comply with the policy is I'm convinced that the one time that I don't take someone's BP before medicating them that their BP will already be low and they'll bottom out.
