What does a CPN do? What are the expectations and boundaries?

Hi there.  Can anyone tell me what a CPN does and what are my expectations and boundaries? TIA

Here is a link to a formal job description for a CPN
https://jobdescriptionandresumeexamples.com/community-psychiatric-nurse-job-description-example/

‘CPNs work outside hospitals and visit clients in their own homes, out-patient departments or GP surgeries. They can help you to talk through problems and give practical advice and support. They can also give medicines and keep an eye on their effects.’

Hope this helps.
