Answer to Question 1

The important observation here would be to start the flow rate at some slower rate and increase as the patient tolerates. The stress of surgery frequently causes the patient to be somewhat intolerant to insulin and glucose levels may rise at after restarting TPN.

Answer to Question 2

The higher the blood pressure, the greater the force placed on the walls of the blood vessels. An increased pressure for an extended period of time can cause the vessels to weaken, to rupture, to form an aneurism, or to cause a lesion from which atherosclerosis can form.
