This person is wrong. LPNs and RNs can do EVERYTHING a CNA can do. It is in your scope of practice. I understand you weren't talking about this, but if you as a nurse don't know if YOUR patient youuu are RESPONSIBLE for is a two - person assist or needs thickened liquids, you shouldn't be working as a nurse. It's your job to make sure the CNA knows these things, not the other way around.
