The nurse is assigned to care for a client receiving total parenteral nutrition via the subclavian vein. The nurse should identify which intervention in the plan of care for the client as the priority?

Monitoring the insertion site for signs of infection

A health care provider prescribes an intravenous fat emulsion solution for a client who will be receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). The nurse should explain to the client the administration of the fat emulsion solution is for which reason?

To provide essential fatty acids and additional calories

What are the risks of parenteral nutrition? The most common risk of using parenteral nutrition is developing catheter infection. Other risks include: blood clots liver disease bone disease It's essential to maintain clean tubing, needleless access ports, catheters, and other equipment to minimize these risks.

Polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia are manifestations of hyperglycemia.

polyphagia

A client has had extensive surgery on the gastrointestinal tract and has been started on total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The client tells the nurse, "I think I'm going crazy. I feel like I'm starving, and yet that bag is supposed to be feeding me." Which is the best response from the nurse?

"That is because the empty stomach sends signals to the brain to stimulate hunger."

Total parenteral nutrition that is infusing via a central line, such as through the subclavian vein, is more likely to become infected than a standard peripheral intravenous line. Infection may quickly lead to sepsis. At least every 4 to 6 hours, the insertion site should be inspected. It is not necessary to place the client in the semi-Fowler's position on his back at all times. It is advisable to encourage a client to

A complication of a subclavian central line can be an embolism resulting from air or thrombus. A sudden onset of chest pain shortly after the initiation of parenteral nutrition may mean that this complication has developed. Clamp the parenteral nutrition infusion first .The central line is clamped, not discontinued, and the health care provider is notified immediately. Option 1 is an appropriate action but not the first action. Option 3 is not a priority because the client's symptoms do not indicate the presence of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The health care provider will probably prescribe an ECG, but this action would not be the initial action in this situation.

Clients receiving their nutrition parenterally for a prolonged period of time are at risk for developing essential fatty acid deficiency. Fat emulsions are given to meet client nonprotein caloric needs and provide essential fatty acids, which cannot be met by PN administration alone. Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect.

Clients receiving total parenteral nutrition are receiving high concentrations of glucose. To give the pancreas t_me to adjust to decreasing glucose loads, the infusion rates are tapered down. Before discontinuing the parenteral nutrition, the body must adjust to the low_red glucose levels. If the total parenteral nutrition were suddenly withdrawn, the client would probably have rebound hypoglycemia.

The nurse notes redness, warmth, and a yellowish drainage at the insertion site of a central venous catheter in a client receiving parenteral nutrition. These findings indicate which potential complication?

Infection of a central catheter site can lead to septicemia.

How is parenteral nutrition administered? Parenteral nutrition is administered from a bag containing the nutrients you need through tubing attached to a needle or catheter. With TPN, your healthcare provider places the catheter in a large vein, called the superior vena cava, that goes to your heart. Your healthcare provider may also place a port, such as a needleless access port, which makes intravenous feeding easier. For temporary nutritional needs, your doctor may suggest PPN. This type of intravenous feeding uses a regular peripheral intravenous line instead of a central line threaded into your superior vena cava. You'll most likely complete intravenous feedings yourself at home. It usually takes 10 to 12 hours, and you'll repeat this procedure five to seven times a week. Your healthcare provider will provide detailed instructions for this procedure. In general, you first need to check your nutrient bags for floating particles and discoloration. Then you insert tubing into the bag and attach the tubing to your intravenous catheter or port as designated by your healthcare provider. You need to leave the bag and tubing in place for most or all of the day. Afterward, you remove the nutrient bag and tubing.

A client has been on total parenteral nutrition for 8 weeks. The health care provider prescribes that the total parenteral nutrition be weaned down by 50 mL/hr/day until discontinued. The client asks the nurse, "Why doesn't the doctor just stop the parenteral nutrition instead of dragging it on for 3 days?" The nursing response should be to explain that the health care provider is concerned about which phenomenon?

Rebound hypoglycemia

The stomach does send signals to the brain when it is empty to stimulate hunger. The client should be told that this is normal. Some clients also experience food cravings for the same reason.

What are the side effects of parenteral nutrition? The most common side effects of parenteral nutrition are mouth sores, poor night vision, and skin changes. You should speak with your doctor if these conditions don't go away. Other less common side effects include: changes in heartbeat confusion convulsions or seizures difficulty breathing fast weight gain or weight loss fatigue fever or chills increased urination jumpy reflexes memory loss muscle twitching, weakness, or cramps stomach pain swelling of your hands, feet, or legs thirst tingling in your hands or feet vomiting Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these reactions.

A client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) complains of a headache. The nurse notes that the client has an increased blood pressure and a bounding pulse. The nurse reports the findings, knowing that these signs/symptoms are indicative of which complication of this therapy?

fluid overlad

polyphagia = excessive eating or appetite, especially as a symptom of disease:

polyphagia = excessive eating or appetite, especially as a symptom of disease:

The client's signs and symptoms are consistent with fluid overload. The increased intravascular volume increases the blood pressure, whereas the pulse rate increases as the heart tries to pump the extra fluid volume. A fever would be present in a client with sepsis. Signs and symptoms of an air embolus include confusion, pallor, lightheadedness, tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, anxiety, and unresponsiveness.

What is the outlook after parenteral nutrition? Many people experience some improvement in their condition after parenteral nutrition. You may not be rid of your symptoms, but your body may be able to heal more quickly. You'll likely feel stronger and more energized. This can help you do more in spite of the effects of your condition. A physician or dietitian will reassess your nutritional needs after several weeks of this nutrition program to see if any adjustments need to be made in the dosage. You'll likely have tests done to assess your individual needs. The results of parenteral nutrition are maintained health and energy levels in your body. You may need this treatment only temporarily. Or you may need to use it for the rest of your life. Your nutritional needs may change with time.

How do you prepare for parenteral nutrition? You need to speak with your healthcare provider about your exact nutritional needs. Your provider will prescribe the appropriate liquid for fulfilling these needs. You store this liquid in a refrigerator or freezer. Each dose must be removed from the fridge four to six hours before use. This allows enough time for the liquid to reach room temperature. Frozen packets should be moved to the refrigerator 24 hours before use to thaw.

The client is showing signs of fluid retention and possible excess fluid intake. Crackles, edema, and weight gain signify fluid shifts from intravascular spaces to the interstitial spaces. The problem may or may not be related to the parenteral nutrition. Other possible causes of fluid retention include impaired respiratory and cardiovascular function, impaired kidney function, or a combination of factors. The nurse needs to notify the registered nurse of the findings. The registered nurse will then notify the health care provider for further prescriptions. Option 2 will have little, if any, effect on peripheral edema and weight gain. Option 3 infers that a diuretic will help the situation, and it is possible that the health care provider will prescribe a diuretic; however, the health care provider needs to be aware of the change in the physical condition of the client. The nurse should not increase or decrease the rate of parenteral nutrition infusions without a health care provider's prescription to do so.
