— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
實務護理師（LPN）的主要職責包含給藥、執行已建立的護理計畫以及常規評估。護理評估（初次評估）、制定護理計畫（Nursing Diagnosis/Care Plan）以及複雜衛教均屬於註冊護理師（RN）的責任範圍，LPN 可協助但不能負責初次評估與計畫擬定。
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are authorized to administer oral medications as prescribed. Tasks such as developing care plans, performing initial assessments, and providing complex patient education remain the responsibility of the Registered Nurse (RN).
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國有明確的 LPN 與 RN 職責界線；台灣護理師體系無此法規分級，所有護理師皆負擔所有執行項目。
