Coordinating Client Care and Scope of Practice

Infection Control and Standard PrecautionsNext

This lesson covers how LPN scope of practice differs from RN scope, and how to correctly delegate and coordinate tasks with nursing assistants and other team members. You'll walk through common exam scenarios that test whether a task can be delegated, and why. Understanding these boundaries is one of the most heavily tested safe-care concepts on the NCLEX-PN.
