Yes, a licensed practical nurse (LPN) can catheterize a patient, but this depends on the regulations of the specific state or country in which they practice, as well as the policies of their workplace. LPNs are typically trained in basic catheterization techniques during their education. However, they must also have the appropriate supervision and protocols in place, particularly in more complex cases.
