Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has a new prescription for parenteral nutrition (PN) in 20% dextrose and fat emulsions. Which of the following is an appropriate action to include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Prepare the client for a central venous line. Parenteral nutrition (PN) with high dextrose and fat content can cause irritation and damage to peripheral veins.
Therefore, a central venous line is necessary to administer PN safely and effectively, as it allows for rapid dilution and delivery of the hypertonic solution. Using a central line reduces the risk of phlebitis and extravasation. Changing the PN bag every 48 hours (
A) is a general guideline but not specific to this situation. Administering the PN and fat emulsion separately (
C) is not recommended as they are typically combined in one solution. Obtaining a random blood glucose daily (
D) is important but not directly related to the administration of PN with high dextrose and fat content.
