Answer 1

Yes, LPNs can perform data collection, monitoring, and observation tasks under supervision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, LPNs can perform data collection, monitoring, and observation tasks under supervision. LPNs are trained healthcare professionals who work closely with registered nurses (RNs) and other members of the healthcare team to provide direct patient care. They can collect data by taking vital signs, monitoring patients' conditions, and documenting observations. However, LPNs may need additional certification or training to perform certain specialized data collection tasks.
