IV Certified Responsibilities.

Can someone tell me what an IV certified LPN\LVN can actually do regarding IV's?

1. Start an IV.

2. Assess an infiltration?

3. Hang NS?

4. Hang antibiotics?

5. Hang other meds?

6. Give pre-op medications?

7. TPN?

I am in AZ. I know this may be state by state, but from your perspective.

Alternatively, how do you go about asking your state board these types of questions?

Thanks.
