Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) can typically administer oxygen without a physician's order in emergency situations or according to standing protocols established by their healthcare facility. However, the specifics can vary by state and facility policies, so LPNs should always refer to their local regulations and institutional guidelines. Generally, they can provide supplemental oxygen to patients who exhibit signs of hypoxia or respiratory distress until further medical evaluation occurs.
