LPN 的角色在於執行穩定病人的常規護理與治療。LPN 可執行給藥、強化既有的衛教內容以及更換無菌敷料等技術。然而，制定護理計畫（Admission assessment）與評估藥物療效（Evaluation）屬於 RN 的專業判斷範疇，不能指派給 LPN。
LPNs are appropriately assigned tasks involving routine care for stable clients, such as administering oral medications, reinforcing existing teaching, and performing sterile dressing changes. However, initial assessments, developing care plans, and evaluating treatment outcomes require the advanced clinical judgment of the RN and cannot be delegated.
✦ 台美臨床差異
台灣無 LPN 與 RN 之嚴格職責分級，多由護理人員共同執行；美國則依執照分級嚴格限制任務。
