Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for total parenteral 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 irritation and damage to peripheral veins. Central venous access devices allow for the administration of TPN into large, high-flow veins, reducing the risk of complications such as phlebitis and thrombosis. Midline catheters are not suitable for TPN due to the hypertonic nature of the solution and the risk of vein irritation. Subcutaneous administration is not appropriate for TPN as it requires direct access to the bloodstream. Intraosseous administration is not recommended for TPN as it is typically reserved for emergency situations when intravenous access is not feasible.
