Can LPN create a nursing care plan?

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) can contribute to the development of nursing care plans, but they typically do so under the supervision of Registered Nurses (RNs) or other healthcare professionals. LPNs can assist in gathering patient data, implementing care plans, and evaluating patient outcomes. However, the responsibility for creating and overseeing the nursing care plan generally lies with RNs, who have more extensive training and authority in nursing practice.
