Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Monitor the client's weight daily. Monitoring weight daily is essential in assessing the client's response to TPN therapy, as weight changes can indicate fluid status and nutritional adequacy. This helps the nurse adjust the TPN solution accurately.

A: Hanging TPN to gravity is incorrect as it should be administered via a pump to control the infusion rate precisely.

C: Obtaining blood glucose weekly is not as critical as monitoring weight daily for TPN clients, as frequent blood glucose monitoring is usually required for diabetic clients receiving TPN.

D: Titrating TPN solution to blood pressure is incorrect as blood pressure is not directly related to TPN administration.

In summary, monitoring the client's weight daily is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of TPN therapy, while the other options are less relevant or incorrect in this context.
