Yes, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) can call a medical doctor (MD) to discuss a patient's condition, seek clarification on a treatment plan, or report changes in a patient's status. However, the scope of their practice may vary by state regulations and facility policies, so LPNs should ensure they are operating within their legal and professional boundaries. Typically, LPNs are expected to communicate effectively with MDs while collaborating under the supervision of registered nurses (RNs) or physicians.
