Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following conditions should the nurse monitor the patient for as a complication of TPN?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Abdominal distention. With TPN, there is a risk of overfeeding leading to excess gas production, causing abdominal distention. The nurse should monitor for signs of bowel distention, such as abdominal distention, discomfort, and absent bowel sounds. Aspiration (
A) is a risk with enteral feeding, not TPN. Polyuria (
B) is increased urine output, not commonly associated with TPN. Stomatitis (
C) is inflammation of the mouth, not directly related to TPN complications.
