Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) while admitted in the inpatient setting. Which of the following conditions can occur if the nurse abruptly stops TPN?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypoglycemia. Abruptly stopping TPN can lead to hypoglycemia because the body has been dependent on the continuous infusion of glucose from the TPN solution for energy. When TPN is stopped suddenly, there is a rapid drop in blood sugar levels, leading to hypoglycemia.
A: Diarrhea is not a common consequence of abruptly stopping TPN.
C: Hypovolemia is unlikely as TPN is primarily a source of nutrition and not fluid replacement.
D: Erythema at the site is a localized reaction and not a systemic effect of stopping TPN.
