— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
LPN 的執業範圍包括執行常規護理、給藥及協助護理計畫的執行，但「初次評估」、「制定護理計畫」、「給予 IV 藥物（視各州規定）」及「衛教起始（而非強化）」仍為註冊護理師（RN）之責任。因此，強化既有衛教、給予口服藥與慢性傷口更換敷料符合 LPN 職責。
LPNs can reinforce teaching previously provided by the RN, administer oral medications to stable clients, and perform dressing changes for chronic wounds. Initial assessments, developing care plans, and initiating patient education are reserved for the RN due to the need for complex critical thinking.
✦ 台美臨床差異
台灣醫療體系無 LPN/LVN 職位，其功能多由護理佐理員或低年資護理師承擔，角色定義與美國差異巨大。
