Problem
• Section I: Discuss the LPN scope of practice and pick 3 areas from the attached list from the Pennsylvania Boards of Nursing. These are the 3 areas I pick from the Pennsylvania board of nursing. 1 providing safe and effective nursing care. 2 promoting safe and therapeutic environment. Providing health care information to individual patient. Give an example for each scope and discuss how you will perform this at the bedside as a licensed LPN. What are some specific tasks that you might be expected to complete that would meet these requirements?
• Section II: What did you learn in section I? What can an RN do that an LPN cannot? Is there anything that surprised you?
• Section III: Discuss how you will delegate tasks to Nursing Assistants. What can you ask them to do?
• Section IV: Discuss and reflect on how you, as a LPN, will ensure you are practicing within your scope. How will you communicate with other medical professionals what your scope includes and does not include? What would you do if someone delegated a task outside of your scope?
