LVN working as a CNA

The shift was hectic with falls and transfers and the regular med pass and documentation, among these there was a hypoglycemic patient who was administered glucagon by LVN. Would like to know if the skill of taking a blood glucose test on a patient under these circumstances be done by an LVN working as a CNA in a facility. If this is not allowed what would the consequences be for the LVN and the CNA involved. Thank you.

    This is something that would fall under facility policy as to who can take a blood sugar when working in what role. Beyond that, see my response to your other thread.
