Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a prescription for total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: You will have a central line placed to receive TPN. This is because TPN is a hypertonic solution that requires a central line for administration to prevent complications such as phlebitis or thrombosis in peripheral veins.
Choice A is incorrect because blood sugar monitoring frequency may vary based on individual needs.
Choice B is incorrect as weight monitoring is typically done daily, not twice a week, to monitor for fluid balance.
Choice D is incorrect as intake and output should be closely monitored daily for TPN patients due to the risk of electrolyte imbalances.
