The Medical Assistant (MA) functions within the administration pre‑defined scope of practice guidelines per state location of practice. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) participates in the implementation and evaluation of patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse, advanced practice provider, or physician. The MA in the ambulatory care setting collects subjective and objective health status data from the patient or caregiver and communicates this data to the health care provider.

The MA participates in the care of patients by providing contributing data to licensed health care professionals and following through on the patient’s plan of care under the direction of the provider. The MA communicates the provider’s written instructions for care to the patient or caregiver, transmits specifically defined information, and participates in care for patients across the lifespan in all phases of preventative care, health maintenance, treatment, and follow‑up as patients move in and out of care settings.

The MA performs a variety of duties under the direct supervision of a person licensed to practice medicine, including, but not limited to, obtaining vital signs, preparing patients for examinations, observing and reporting patient signs or symptoms, and performing point‑of‑care testing. The LPN ensures the health, comfort and safety of patients. The LPN documents a thorough medical history from patient, contributes to the assessment of patients, administers medications or treatments as ordered, provides technical support to healthcare professionals as needed, and counsels patients and family members under the direction of a registered nurse on prevention and treatment plans.

The LPN demonstrates competency and practices within the full scope of nursing expertise and utilizes appropriate age and population‑specific standards as designated in their assigned clinical setting.
