What does a hospice LVN do?
The LVN provides nursing care and symptom checks under the direction of the registered nurse: giving and reviewing medicines, wound care, checking pain and other symptoms, and teaching family caregivers what to do between visits. The RN case manager assesses, plans care with the team and coordinates with the attending physician; the LVN provides nursing visits within that plan.
Visits happen where the person lives: a house or apartment, a family member's home, an assisted living facility, a board-and-care home or a nursing facility. It is one person at a time, with the family in the room, and the goal is comfort and dignity.
How the LVN fits the hospice team
| Role | What they do | Rule |

| Licensed vocational nurse (LVN) | Provides nursing care and symptom checks under the direction of the registered nurse | Nursing services are a core service under 42 CFR 418.64 |
| Every employee and contractor | Meets the personnel qualifications, including a current state license | 42 CFR 418.114 |
