Question 1 of 5
A complication of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is the development of cholestasis. What is this condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cholestasis due to TPN administration is an intrahepatic process that interrupts the normal flow of bile. It is characterized by a reduction or stoppage of bile flow.
Choice A, an inflammatory process of the extrahepatic bile ducts, refers to cholangitis, not cholestasis.
Choice C, an inflammation of the gallbladder, describes cholecystitis, a different condition.
Choice D, the formation of gallstones, is not correct as cholestasis is about the flow of bile, not the formation of gallstones.
