Performing Interventions as an Intern

I am an M4 in interview season. One of the practice questions I was asked was the following: You are on call and a patient needs a lumbar puncture. You have never done one on a patient. But you have practiced on simulation models and have seen attendings do LPs. The physician on call at home asks you to do the LP. Do you do it? Is this a skill interns should be able to do without direct supervision?
