Leapfrog Attestment-Vital Signs prior to Medication Administration

For those that have went through Leapfrog Attestment and require vital signs prior to administration of certain medications what medications have you required nursing to document on? We are just putting this into place and want to make sure we aren't missing anything important. Our first thoughts are on blood pressure medications (particularly beta-blockers), dysrhythmia medication (digoxin, sotalol, dofetilide). Obviously there is a balance here and we don't want to overwhelm nursing with these requirement. I just wanted to see what others are doing.

Thank you!
