A client is receiving total parenteral nutrition (tpn). the nurse notices that the bag of tpn solution has been infusing for 24
hours but has 300 ml of solution left. the nurse should: discontinue the current solution, change the tubing, and hang a new bag of tpn solution. notify the health care provider (hcp) and obtain prescriptions to alter the flow rate of the solution. change the filter on the tubing and continue with the infusion. continue the infusion until the remaining 300 ml is infused. submit answer
Total Parenteral Nutrition contains calories that are calculated to provide nutrients in the body and is only good for 24 hours at room temperature thus the nurse should discontinue the current solution eventhough there is still remaining 300 ml of solution.
If the nurse notices that the bag
of TPN solution has been infusing for 24 hours; not minding how much of the
solution is left, the nurse should discontinue the current solution, change the
tubing, and hang a new bag of TPN solution. It is not safe to hang a bag of TPN
for more than 24 hours due to the risk of infection.
Australia has so many genetically distinct organisms because it has been separated from other bodies of land for a very long time. This has given species in Australia a long time to evolve independently from species in other areas of the world.
