Bill Summary
This bill modifies the scope of practice for licensed practical nurses.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the scope of practice for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) by allowing them to collect data and conduct nursing assessments to contribute to a comprehensive assessment of assigned clients' health status, and to contribute to the development and modification of the comprehensive plan of care for all types of clients, rather than just participating in it. The bill also clarifies that LPNs plan nursing care for clients with stable conditions, and these changes are intended to update the existing law, RSA 326-B:13, I(a)-(c), and will take effect 60 days after passage.
