i have questions reguarding scope of practice..

1.. can LPNs do a saline flush to a PICC line, than hang an ABT bag, than flush again with saline, than flush with heparin? (SASH method).

2.. can LPNs do ear irrigations?

3.. can LPNs do admissions?

It depends on you State's LPN practice act and your facilitiy policy. Start with going to your State's BON website.
