‭Collaborator‬ ‭LPNs‬ ‭play‬ ‭an‬ ‭essential‬ ‭role‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭client‬ ‭care‬ ‭team.‬ ‭We‬ ‭work‬ ‭closely‬ ‭with‬ ‭other‬ ‭healthcare‬ ‭team‬ ‭members,‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭registered‬ ‭nurses‬ ‭(RNs),‬ ‭certified‬ ‭nursing‬ ‭assistants‬ ‭(CNAs),‬ ‭physicians,‬ ‭physical/occupational/speech‬ ‭therapists,‬ ‭dietitians,‬ ‭and‬ ‭volunteers,‬ ‭to‬ ‭ensure‬ ‭that‬ ‭our‬ ‭clients‬ ‭receive‬ ‭the‬‭best‬‭possible‬‭care.‬‭Each‬‭member‬‭of‬‭the‬‭team‬‭has‬‭their‬‭own‬‭unique‬‭scope‬‭of‬‭practice,‬‭which‬‭includes‬ ‭specific‬‭tasks‬‭and‬‭responsibilities.‬‭As‬‭LPNs,‬‭our‬‭scope‬‭of‬‭practice‬‭consists‬‭of‬‭providing‬‭direct‬‭client‬‭care,‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭administering‬ ‭medications,‬ ‭wound‬ ‭care,‬ ‭and‬ ‭assisting‬ ‭with‬ ‭activities‬ ‭of‬ ‭daily‬ ‭living.‬ ‭The‬ ‭collaboration‬‭of‬‭an‬‭LPN‬‭involves‬‭sharing‬‭information,‬‭solving‬‭problems,‬‭and‬‭working‬‭together‬‭as‬‭a‬‭team‬ ‭to provide the best possible care for our clients.‬ ‭Resource Management‬ ‭All‬‭nurses‬‭are‬‭responsible‬‭for‬‭providing‬‭safe‬‭and‬‭cost-effective‬‭care‬‭to‬‭clients‬‭and‬‭helping‬‭them‬‭attain‬‭or‬ ‭maintain‬‭their‬‭independence.‬‭The‬‭LPN,‬‭in‬‭collaboration‬‭with‬‭the‬‭RN,‬‭will‬‭develop‬‭an‬ ‭individualized‬‭care‬ ‭plan‬ ‭for‬ ‭each‬‭client,‬‭considering‬‭their‬‭needs‬‭and‬‭goals.‬‭The‬‭care‬‭plan‬‭development‬‭must‬‭include‬‭input‬ ‭from‬ ‭the‬ ‭client‬ ‭and‬ ‭family/caregiver.‬ ‭The‬ ‭involvement‬ ‭of‬ ‭clients‬ ‭and‬ ‭their‬‭families‬‭in‬‭the‬‭planning‬‭and‬ ‭development‬‭of‬‭healthcare‬‭services‬‭has‬‭been‬‭shown‬‭to‬‭improve‬‭client‬‭health‬‭and‬‭quality‬‭of‬‭life.‬‭The‬ ‭care‬ ‭plans‬ ‭should‬ ‭incorporate‬ ‭evidence-based‬ ‭research‬ ‭from‬ ‭medical‬ ‭literature‬ ‭and‬ ‭other‬ ‭resources.‬ ‭In‬ ‭addition‬‭to‬‭starting‬‭the‬‭care‬‭plan‬‭for‬‭each‬‭client,‬‭nurses‬‭should‬‭also‬‭evaluate‬‭and‬‭revise‬‭the‬‭plan‬‭as‬‭the‬ ‭client's‬‭condition‬‭progresses.‬‭When‬‭the‬‭client‬‭is‬‭ready‬‭to‬‭be‬‭discharged‬‭from‬‭the‬‭hospital,‬‭nurses‬‭should‬ ‭ensure‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭client‬ ‭has‬ ‭all‬ ‭the‬ ‭necessary‬ ‭information‬ ‭required‬ ‭for‬ ‭discharge‬ ‭procedures,‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭medication instructions, follow-up visits, and any future tests.‬ ‭LPNs‬ ‭are‬ ‭team‬ ‭leaders‬ ‭or‬ ‭charge‬ ‭nurses‬‭and‬‭frequently‬‭have‬‭the‬‭duty‬‭of‬‭managing‬‭nursing‬‭assistants.‬ ‭Case‬‭management‬‭for‬‭LPNs‬‭(Licensed‬‭Practical‬‭Nurses)‬‭involves‬‭coordinating‬‭and‬‭overseeing‬‭the‬‭care‬‭of‬ ‭clients‬ ‭across‬ ‭different‬ ‭healthcare‬ ‭settings‬ ‭and‬ ‭services.‬ ‭LPNs‬‭play‬‭an‬‭important‬‭role‬‭in‬‭assisting‬‭with‬ ‭case‬ ‭management‬ ‭tasks‬ ‭under‬ ‭the‬ ‭direction‬ ‭of‬ ‭registered‬ ‭nurses‬ ‭(RNs)‬ ‭and‬ ‭other‬ ‭healthcare‬ ‭professionals. Some aspects of LPN case management include:‬ ‭1.‬ ‭Collaboration‬ ‭:‬ ‭LPNs‬ ‭collaborate‬ ‭with‬ ‭RNs,‬ ‭doctors,‬ ‭social‬ ‭workers,‬ ‭and‬ ‭other‬ ‭healthcare‬ ‭professionals to ensure comprehensive care for clients.‬ ‭2.‬ ‭Assessment‬ ‭:‬ ‭LPNs‬ ‭gather‬ ‭information‬ ‭about‬ ‭clients'‬ ‭conditions,‬ ‭needs,‬ ‭and‬ ‭preferences‬ ‭to‬ ‭assist in developing care plans.‬ ‭3.‬ ‭Care‬‭Planning‬ ‭:‬‭The‬‭LPN’s‬‭key‬‭role‬‭is‬‭to‬‭ensure‬‭that‬‭care‬‭is‬‭rendered‬‭based‬‭on‬‭the‬‭client's‬‭care‬ ‭plans.‬ ‭The‬ ‭care‬ ‭plan‬ ‭is‬ ‭developed‬ ‭based‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭client's‬ ‭medical‬ ‭conditions,‬ ‭treatments,‬ ‭and‬ ‭goals.‬‭They‬‭may‬‭contribute‬‭to‬‭care‬‭plan‬‭development‬‭by‬‭providing‬‭valuable‬‭insights‬‭by‬‭reporting‬ ‭information to the registered nurse.‬ ‭4.‬ ‭Communication‬ ‭:‬‭LPNs‬‭communicate‬‭with‬‭clients,‬‭families,‬‭and‬‭other‬‭team‬‭members‬‭to‬‭ensure‬ ‭everyone is informed about the client's progress and needs.‬ ‭5.‬ ‭Resource‬‭Coordination‬ ‭:‬‭LPNs‬‭may‬‭help‬‭arrange‬‭appointments,‬‭tests,‬‭and‬‭treatments,‬‭ensuring‬ ‭seamless transitions between different healthcare settings.‬
