— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
根據護理職責範圍，RN（註冊護理師）負責複雜的評估、規劃護理計畫及教育指導。LPN/LVN 可以在 RN 的監督下執行常規的護理任務，包括給予口服藥物、執行已建立的護理程序（如導尿、更換敷料）以及監測穩定病人的生理狀態。
Per scope of practice, RNs perform complex assessments, develop care plans, and provide education. LPNs/LVNs work under RN supervision and may perform routine tasks such as administering oral medications, executing established nursing procedures (catheter care, dressing changes), and monitoring stable patients.
