Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to replace a nearly empty container of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for a patient. There has been a delay in receiving the new TPN solution from the pharmacy. Which of the following solutions should the nurse infuse until the next TPN solution is available? Which solution should the nurse infuse during TPN delay?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Dextrose 10% in water. During a delay in receiving TPN, it is important to provide a source of glucose to prevent hypoglycemia. Dextrose 10% in water provides a source of glucose for the patient. Lactated Ringer's (
A) and 0.9% sodium chloride (
B) are isotonic solutions but do not provide glucose. Sodium chloride (
C) is a saline solution and does not provide any nutritional value.
Therefore, Dextrose 10% in water is the most appropriate choice to prevent hypoglycemia in this situation.
