b. To define the scope of LPN/LVN practice.
c. To improve the quality of care provided by the LPN/LVN.
d. To limit the LPN/LVN employment placement.

b. Look up the procedure in the procedure manual.
c. Attempt to perform the procedure with supervision.
d. Inform the charge nurse of her lack of training in this procedure.
