Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) cannot perform certain duties that are reserved for registered nurses (RNs) or physicians. These include making medical diagnoses, developing nursing care plans, and administering intravenous medications in many states. Additionally, LPNs are typically prohibited from performing complex procedures, such as certain types of assessments or carrying out a doctor's orders that require a higher level of clinical judgment. The specific limitations can vary by state or healthcare facility regulations.
