LPN Drug Administration

Pharmacy has been approached by nursing staff to help create a list of medications (subq/IM) that LPNs can administer. Goal for our nursing staff is to have one RN oversee 1 LPN and share patients. Has anyone had to create a list? Possibly only allow oral medications to be given by LPNs and no IV/Subq/IM. Michigan law allows LPNs to administer drugs under RN supervision.
