The LVN should provide data to the RN to assist in the evaluation of the plan. This will allow the RN to make an informed decision on whether to revise the plan of care, revise the patient outcome, collaborate on a new nursing diagnosis, or continue with the current plan. It is important for the LVN to communicate any observations or concerns they have to the RN to ensure that the patient's care is effectively managed.
