LPN 的角色在於執行既定計畫下的照護。依據護理實務規範，初期評估、護理診斷制定、護理計畫擬定以及高風險靜脈注射藥物（依各州規定）通常需由註冊護理師（RN）完成。LPN 可協助執行常規藥物給予及加強衛教資訊。
The LPN's role is to provide care within an established plan. According to nursing practice standards, the initial assessment, formulation of nursing diagnoses, development of the nursing care plan, and administration of high-risk IV medications (depending on state regulations) typically must be performed by a registered nurse (RN). LPNs may assist by administering routine medications and reinforcing educational information.
