The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provides professional nursing care for residents of all ages in long‑term care, under the supervision of a registered nurse, advanced practice provider, or physician. The LPN demonstrates knowledge of nursing principles for the resident, practices within the full scope of nursing expertise, and utilizes age‑ and population‑specific standards related to the physical and psychosocial needs of the resident as per the care plan.

The LPN performs testing to evaluate data reflective of the resident’s status and provides the necessary care. The LPN recognizes problems, recommends solutions, and responds effectively to assist in emergent situations.

The LPN ensures the health, comfort, and safety of residents; contributes to resident assessment; administers medications or treatments as ordered; provides technical support to healthcare professionals; documents resident interactions and outcomes related to resident care, medication, behavior, activity, and diet; and establishes effective working relationships with residents, health‑care providers, and the public. The LPN works effectively as part of an interdisciplinary care team, communicates clearly, maintains confidentiality of sensitive information, and counsels residents, family members, or resident advocates under the direction of a registered nurse, advanced practice provider, or physician on prevention and treatment plans.

The LPN also develops self‑care programs and performs other related duties as assigned.
