A nurse is planning care for a client who is to start receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A. The tubing for TPN must be changed every 24 hr (not 48 hr) to reduce the risk of central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). B. Lipid emulsions should not hang for more than 12 hr to prevent bacterial growth and infection. C. A 1.2-micron filter is required for TPN that contains lipids to remove particulate matter, bacteria, and fungi, since lipid solutions cannot pass through smaller filters. D. TPN solutions should be changed every 24 hr (not 36 hr) to reduce infection risk.
