scope of practice laws

What are the Limitations for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)?

LPNs typically have a more limited scope of practice compared to RNs. They can perform basic nursing care, monitor patient health, assist with personal hygiene, and provide wound care. However, they usually do so under the supervision of an RN or a physician. LPNs are generally not authorized to perform complex medical procedures or make independent clinical decisions.
