According to the NFLPN, the LPN participates in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of nursing care in all settings where nursing takes place. Generally providing for emotional and physical comfort and safety of (patients); observing, recording and reporting to appropriate persons changes in (patients') symptoms and conditions; and performing more specialized nursing functions, such as administering medications and therapeutic treatments; and assisting with rehabilitation. Their duties may include taking and recording temperature, blood pressure, pulse and respiration rates; dressing wounds; observing (patients) and reporting adverse reactions or altered conditions. The initial assessment of a client is performed by the RN. Experienced LPNs may supervise nursing assistants and aides, not RNs.
