The state Nurse Practice Act will have the information the RN needs,and in some states,LPNs are able to perform specific aspects of IV therapy.However,in a client care situation,it may be difficult and time-consuming to find it and read what LPNs are permitted to do,so another good solution would be for the nurse to check facility policy and follow it.
