Which statement about licensed practical nurses is true?

They work independently without supervision

They can diagnose medical conditions

They provide care under supervision of physicians and RNs

Licensed practical nurses work as part of the healthcare team under the supervision of physicians and registered nurses. They perform routine nursing tasks, monitor patients, collect data, respond to changes in condition, and carry out orders from supervising clinicians. They do not diagnose medical conditions; that remains the domain of physicians and advanced practice providers. They also administer medications under supervision or delegation, so a statement claiming they do not administer medications isn’t accurate. Therefore, providing care under supervision best describes their role.

They do not administer medications
