What is one of the tasks a licensed veterinary technician can perform under general supervision?

A licensed veterinary technician can draw blood from animals under general supervision as part of their scope of practice. Drawing blood is considered a routine procedure that veterinary technicians are trained to perform. Under the general supervision of a licensed veterinarian, technicians can handle this task effectively while ensuring the animal's comfort and safety.

The other options involve tasks that require direct supervision or a higher level of expertise that goes beyond the typical responsibilities of veterinary technicians. Conducting complex surgeries requires the significant skills and decision-making abilities of a veterinarian, making it unsuitable for technicians under general supervision. Administering anesthesia without supervision also falls outside the technicians' permitted activities, as it involves additional risks and requires careful monitoring and assessment. Writing treatment plans is typically reserved for veterinarians, who have the clinical expertise to develop comprehensive treatment strategies based on their diagnosis.
