Under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians, practical nurses provide a range of basic patient care services. Duties may include taking vitals and medical histories, drawing blood, inserting catheters, performing basic wound care, and providing comfort care such as assisting with eating, dressing, and bathing. Specific tasks may vary by state.
