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

As team members, cells have become specialized in anatomic structure and physiologic function. The student nurse is reviewing the cell properties and physiologic functions.
 
  Based on this information, which is the best description for anabolism to include as an explanation for the nursing instructor? A) Ability of cells to breakdown, disintegrate, or tear substances into simpler substances
  B) Ability of muscle cells to move
  C) Ability of cells to build up, assimilate, or convert ingested substances.
  D) Ability of the cells to duplicate themselves

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.
