and Microlipid supplies only fats (see Box 55-1).
A woman has been receiving both radiation and chemotherapy for her cancer. Lately, she has
developed anorexia caused by the treatments, so she needs short-term nutrition supplementation.
The nurse anticipates that the physician will initiate which therapy?
a. Central total parenteral nutrition
b. Peripheral parenteral nutrition
c. Oral nutritional supplements with meals
d. Nasogastric enteral supplementation - answer✔✔B.
Peripheral parenteral nutrition is indicated for anorexia caused by radiation or cancer
chemotherapy. Total parenteral nutrition is indicated for more long-term use. The other options
are incorrect.
During the night shift, a patient's total parenteral nutrition (TPN) infusion ran out, and the nurse
discovered that there was no TPN solution on hand to continue the infusion. The pharmacy is
closed and will not reopen for 5 hours.
The nurse will have to implement measures to prevent which consequence of abruptly
discontinuing TPN infusions?
a. Dehydration
b. Hyperglycemia
c. Dumping syndrome
d. Rebound hypoglycemia - answer✔✔D.
Rebound hypoglycemia may occur if TPN is discontinued abruptly. It may be prevented by
infusion of 10% glucose in situations in which TPN must be stopped abruptly. The other options
are incorrect.
When monitoring a patient who has been receiving peripheral parenteral nutrition for more than
3 weeks, the nurse will watch for which potential complication?
