LPN 的職責範圍包括給藥、執行常規處置及強化衛教，但不可進行入會初評（Initial Assessment）或制定、變更護理計畫（Nursing Process 核心）。這些專業判斷工作僅限註冊護理師（RN）執行。
The scope of practice of the LPN includes administering medications, performing routine procedures, and reinforcing patient education, but does not include the initial assessment on admission or formulating or modifying the plan of care (the core of the nursing process). These professional judgment tasks can only be performed by the registered nurse (RN).

美國護理職級分工（RN/LPN/UAP）明確，台灣則統一由護理師（RN）執行所有專業護理工作，無 LPN 職位。
