Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for total parental nutrition (TPN). Which of the following routes of administration should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Central venous access device. TPN is a hypertonic solution that can cause damage to peripheral veins. Central venous access devices allow for the administration of TPN into larger central veins, minimizing the risk of complications such as phlebitis and thrombosis. Midline catheters are not ideal for TPN due to the hypertonicity of the solution. Subcutaneous and intraosseous routes are not appropriate for TPN administration as they are not capable of delivering the solution effectively.
