Would an LPN present in a room where moderate sedation is in use need to have the national training?
Answer 3. The Directive requires that those individuals ordering, administering, and supervising moderate sedation in support of patient care must be qualified and have appropriate credentials. Individuals administering, monitoring, and/or supervising moderate sedation must have had competency-based education, training, and experience. If the LPN is administering, monitoring and/or supervising moderate sedation then training is required. Otherwise training is not mandatory.
