Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LPN/LVNs can independently perform the implementation phase of the nursing process, which involves carrying out care plans and interventions that have been developed by the RN or another healthcare provider. They typically do not independently perform assessments, plan care, or make nursing diagnoses, as these activities require more comprehensive nursing education and scope of practice.
