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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Monitor the client's weight daily. This is crucial because weight changes can indicate the effectiveness of TPN therapy, fluid balance, and nutritional status. Weight monitoring helps detect any complications early. Hanging the TPN solution to gravity (choice
B) is incorrect as TPN should be administered using an infusion pump to control the rate accurately. Titration of TPN to blood pressure (choice
C) is inappropriate as TPN is not adjusted based on blood pressure. Obtaining the client's blood glucose level weekly (choice
D) is not frequent enough, as blood glucose levels should be monitored more frequently in TPN recipients.
