Is it with the scope of the licensed practical nurse to perform pulmonary artery pressure monitoring procedures?

The Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission determines it is beyond the scope of the licensed practical nurse to perform pulmonary artery pressure monitoring procedures due to the complexity of the procedure. The licensed practical nurse may assist an authorized health care practitioner or the registered nurse in performing this activity. The licensed practical nurse should use the Scope of Practice Decision Tree to determine if these activities are within the nurse's legal and individual scope of practice.
