A CNA can only provide activities of daily living for the client and take vital signs lifting and transporting a client, and chart info on the patients vital signs and visible condion.

A LPN can do all of what the CNA does but their scope of practice is more elevated than the CNA's because they can administer medication and care for wounds with the permission of a RN or a doctor.
