They help the doctor during manipulation (for example, determination of blood group), take blood from a vein for biochemical research and send (deliver) to the laboratory and administer blood transfusions and drips. They administer drugs and different injections. Injections can be given intravenously, intramuscularly, intradermally, or subcutaneously. Injections are the best and the safest way of injecting medication into a patient. LP Ns provide cleaning and changing dressings to ensure proper healing.  They are responsible for storage and distribution of medicines, dressing material. The nurses keep all the drugs in special drug cabinets. All the drugs have special labels.
