A client is started on total parenteral nutrition. The nurse asks a nursing student to explain the difference in a preclinical conference between peripheral parenteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition.
 
  What information did the student nurse correctly state about total parenteral nutrition?
  1 . Contains lesser concentration of the same ingredients found in peripheral vein TPN
  2 . Used to promote protein synthesis and weight gain
  3 . Provides more calories than peripheral parenteral nutrition
  4 . Specifically formulated and calculated solution that is nutritionally complete
  A) 1, 2
  B) 1, 4
  C) 2, 3
  D) 3, 4

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a specifically formulated and calculated solution that is nutritionally complete to meet a specific individual's needs and provides more calories than PPN. Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) contains lesser concentrations of the same ingredients found in central vein TPN, administered into a peripheral vein. It is used to provide temporary nutritional support and to promote protein synthesis and weight gain when oral intake is inadequate or contraindicated.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Anabolism is the ability of cells to build up, assimilate, or convert ingested substances. Catabolism is the ability of cells to break down, disintegrate, or tear substances into simpler substances. Contractility is the ability of muscle cells to move. Reproduction is the ability of cells to duplicate themselves.
