Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Proton pump inhibitors are most effective when administered 30 minutes before breakfast so that the peak plasma concentrations occur with mealtime. If they are given twice a day, the second best time for administration is 30 minutes before the evening meal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Numerous complications are associated with short bowel syndrome and long-term TPN. Infectious, metabolic, and technical complications can occur. Sepsis can occur after improper care of the catheter. The gastrointestinal tract can also be a source of microbial seeding of the catheter. The nurse should monitor for catheter infection, electrolyte losses, and hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia, weight gain, constipation, or red currant jelly stools are not characteristics of short bowel syndrome with extended TPN.
