Answer to Question 1

The standard guidelines and subsequent recommendations for weaning TPN depend on when enteral feedings or PO intake has been advanced to >60 of estimated energy needs. Once this occurs and the patient is tolerating the alternate route of feeding well, the PN formula can be discontinued. Attention to glycemic control post-PN is important to monitor for hypoglycemia. If the patient has a history of hypoglycemia, however, it is reasonable to taper PN over 1-2 hours to avoid this problem. Overall, it is important to meet calorie needs through the transition of PN to EN for this patient in order to avoid complications with glycemic control or underfeeding.
