- DFormulating the initial nursing care plan擬定初步的護理計畫
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
LPN 可以在護理師督導下執行給藥、傷口換藥等技術操作，前提是病人處於穩定狀態。制定護理計畫、入院評估、出院衛教等需要專業分析與判斷的內容，必須由註冊護理師（RN）執行。選項 A 是技術性操作，符合 LPN 執業範圍。
LPNs may, under the supervision of an RN, perform technical procedures such as medication administration and wound dressing changes, provided that the client is stable. Activities that require professional analysis and judgment, such as developing the care plan, admission assessment, and discharge teaching, must be performed by the registered nurse (RN). Option A is a technical procedure that falls within the LPN's scope of practice.
✦ 台美臨床差異
台灣無 LPN 與 RN 之嚴格區分，多為護理師（護理系畢）與護士（護專畢），兩者執業範圍目前在台灣幾無差異。
