patient's glucose q6h; monitor for temperature, elevated WBC, and malaise


Total parenteral nutrition through a peripheral line - ANSWER- 1. Prepare IV tubing for PPN

solution; run solution through tubing. turn roller clamp to "off" position. Add sterile capped needle

or place sterile cap on end of tubing
