LPNs provide emotional support and educational material to patients and their families. LPNs are responsible to supervise care provided by unlicensed assistive personnel, such as medical assistants, patient care associates and patient care technicians. LPNs may start an IV and administer blood products with recommendation of their manager and additional specialized training.

No LPN, including LPN III, can assess central lines or response to medications and may not titrate medications.
