Can an LPN reinsert a suprapubic catheter?

Yes, in certain states.

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are allowed to change and reinsert suprapubic catheters in some states. However, the scope of practice for LPNs varies from state to state, and it is important to check with the state Board of Nursing to determine the specific tasks that LPNs are permitted to perform.
