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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: You will have a central line placed to receive TPN. This is crucial information to include because TPN is a high-osmolarity solution that can cause vein irritation if given through a peripheral line. A central line allows for the TPN to be infused into a larger vein, reducing the risk of complications.
Choice B is incorrect because blood sugar monitoring frequency may vary depending on the individual's condition and the TPN composition.
Choice C is incorrect as weight monitoring frequency may also vary and is not a universal standard.
Choice D is incorrect as intake and output monitoring is important but should be done more frequently than every 2 days when on TPN.
