Scope of practice-LPN

[RadBSN]

Does anyone have a good way to remember what RNs can and can't delegate to an LPN and in general what their scope of practice is? I have a good sense of what an NA can do, but since the hospitals I've been in don't really use LPNs in the acute care setting I'm need a little something to help me remember.

Thanks!

Yes, an lpn can perform an ongoing assessment while providing care to the client.

I would just eliminate answers with assessing, evaluating care, and teaching for LPNs. I would not try to make it any more specific than that until test day.
