Question 1 of 5

A client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) tells the nurse, 'I'm not sure that I want to receive an infusion of lipids because it could make me obese.' Which initial action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A client who receives TPN is at risk for developing an essential fatty acid deficiency; however, this client's comment requires more than a simple informational response initially. Thus, the nurse responds with option 1 to assist the client with self-expression and to deal with aspects of illness and treatment. Option 2 delays client self-expression and devalues the client's feelings. Options 3 and 4 provide information only.
