Yes, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) can legally remove sutures and staples, but this may vary by state regulations and facility policies. In many states, LPNs are permitted to perform this task under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or physician. It is essential for LPNs to be trained and competent in the procedure to ensure patient safety. Always check local laws and institutional guidelines to confirm the specific scope of practice.
