Can LPN in the state of MT do admission assessment?

In Montana, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are not authorized to perform admission assessments independently. They may assist with data collection and support the assessment process under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or another licensed healthcare professional. The RN is responsible for the overall assessment and planning of patient care. It's essential for LPNs to work within their scope of practice and adhere to state regulations.
