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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
