I have a Question please Help ME!!! The place I work is now requiring LVN's to do respiratory on ventilator patients. They say the RT's will be available for weaning but the LVN's will do treatments, trach care etc. That is fine with me but I don't feel comfortable with adjusting vent settings etc. Is this even within my scope of practice for LVN. When I was in school my instructors basically said if the alarm is going off check tubes etc but the RT's handle the settings. Help.
