Entry Level Lpn Iv Therapy specialists focus primarily on administering IV treatments and patient monitoring in clinical settings, often requiring specific IV therapy certifications. Licensed Practical Nurses have a broader scope of practice, including general patient care and medication administration, with IV therapy being a part of their duties in some settings. Both roles require an LPN license, but the Entry Level Lpn Iv Therapy role emphasizes IV skills more heavily.
