Although some hospitals are choosing to hire RNâs instead of LPNâs because RNâs can start IVâs and pass medications where as LPNâs sometimes have limitations by laws in their states.une 8, 2010 at 4:21 pm. lol about your additional details commentsâ¦.

This is what I'm getting from Kaplan: LPN/LVN's can do dressing changes, and can be assigned the most stable patient with the most predictable outcome. They can not do any assessment or patient teaching. So if a pt is being discharged, you can not delegate that pt to a LPN/LVN because discharge needs patient teaching.
