Always remember to wash your hands whenever:

- Using the bathroom
- Blowing your nose
- Coughing and sneezing
- Taking out the garbage
- Touching doorknobs, countertops, and railings

Taking Care of the Elderly

Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) may be assigned to work in nursing homes, hospitals, correctional facilities, the military, or in the homes of their patients. While an LPN’s scope of practice may be smaller than that of a registered nurse, there are still a lot of important nursing duties on their plates that deal with elderly patients. LPNs are responsible for:

- Monitoring basic patient health
- Changing dressings or inserting catheters
- Taking patient histories and documentation
- Assisting with tests and procedures
- Providing personal care

The Difference Between RN and LPN

Registered nurses or RNs are medical professionals who primarily administer medication, treatments, and offer educational advice to the patients. Licensed practical nurses or LPNs, on the other hand, are also medical professionals who provide more basic nursing care and are responsible for the comfort of each patient. Training may be different for each but the values that are associated with health care are observed by both professions all the same.
