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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hypoglycemia. Stopping TPN abruptly can lead to a rapid decrease in glucose supply, causing hypoglycemia. TPN provides essential nutrients, including glucose, to maintain blood sugar levels. Abrupt discontinuation can result in a sudden drop in glucose levels. Diarrhea (
A) is not a direct consequence of stopping TPN. Hyperglycemia (
B) is unlikely since TPN cessation would not lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. Erythema at the insertion site (
D) is unrelated to TPN discontinuation.
