LPNs necessarily carry out their job duties under the supervision of either an RN or a doctor. An LPN collects information from the patients to be admitted; regarding medical records, medical insurance details, and helps in completing other pretreatment formalities. An LPN records health details of patients; which usually comprise blood pressure, body temperature, respiration and heartbeat rate among other vital signs. She helps the patient prepare for medical examinations and takes test samples from patients. She administers medicines and injections prescribed by the physician to the patients.
If the patient has external wounds on his body, she dresses the wounds regularly for quick healing. Treating bedsores is also an LPN's responsibility. Giving body rubs or massage also form a part of an LPN's ! job responsibilities. An LPN with a good amount of practical e! xperience may be required to oversee the work done by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). After recording the medical condition of the patient, she informs the respective doctor about the same.

An LPN monitors the patients' health condition and reports changes in the same to concerned doctors. Once the patient is about to be discharged from the hospital, she informs family members of the patient about regular medications needed, the diet to be followed, and gives them the guidelines for patient care. These are the basic tasks in an LPN work day. The care and support she provides to the patients during their hospitalization is almost as important as the medical care they receive.
