Which action is within the LVN scope related to IV therapy in Texas (per facility policy and training)?

Rationale: A. Initiate and monitor peripheral IV therapy is correct. In Texas, LVNs are authorized to start and manage peripheral IV lines if they have completed the required training and competency verification. They can also monitor the infusion, assess the site, and report complications, under the supervision of an RN or provider per facility policy. B. Administer IV push medications independently is incorrect because LVNs cannot independently give IV push medications in Texas. IV push administration is usually restricted to RNs and must follow facility policy, training, and delegation rules. C. Prescribe IV fluids is incorrect because prescribing medications or fluids is outside the LVN scope of practice. Only licensed prescribers (physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants) can prescribe IV therapy. D. Insert a central venous catheter is incorrect because central line insertion is a complex procedure requiring advanced training, typically performed by physicians, advanced practice nurses, or RNs with specialized certification. It is outside the LVN scope.
