ATI RN
ATI Comprehensive 2024 Exit Exam with NGN Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition(TPN): The bag has 20 mL remaining to infuse, but a new bag is not readily available.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer dextrose 10% in water. This action is appropriate for treating hypoglycemia, which can be a potential complication of TPN (
Total Parenteral Nutrition) therapy. Administering dextrose 10% in water can help raise the patient's blood sugar levels quickly and effectively.
Choice B is incorrect as lactated Ringers solution does not directly address hypoglycemia.
Choice C is not the best option as slowing the TPN infusion rate may further decrease the patient's blood sugar levels.
Choice D is also incorrect as temporarily discontinuing the TPN infusion may exacerbate the hypoglycemia.
