Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose current bag of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has finished infusing, and the next bag is not yet available. Which of the following fluids should the nurse prepare to administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dextrose 10% in water. When a TPN bag finishes infusing and the next bag is unavailable, the nurse should administer a dextrose solution to prevent hypoglycemia. Dextrose provides a quick source of energy for the client. Lactated Ringer's (
A) is not appropriate as it does not contain any glucose for energy. 0.45% sodium chloride (
C) and 0.9% sodium chloride (
D) are isotonic solutions and do not provide the necessary glucose.
