What is Liposyn? A fat/energy source used in parenteral solutions
This is the amount of time a TPN must be warmed to room temperature... pg
What is approximately 1 hour?
Being faster than the gravity method, having less touch contamination, and having better accuracy are just some of the reason for this... pg 112
A TPN must be discarded after this time frame? pg 113
What is every 24 hours?
An abnormally low level of glucose in the blood is known as... vocab
Hypoglycemia
This TPN component is used only to provide energy. pg 108
What are Carbohydrates?
This is often added to adjust the volume of parenteral solutions pg 108
Sterile Water
Which IV bag should be administered at the same rate as the TPN, if the TPN is stopped abruptly? pg 113
D10W - Dextrose 10%
What are the goals of parenteral nutrition? pg 107
Promote wound healing, prevent malnutrition, replace nutritional deficits, increase weight or diminish the rate of weight loss
These are the solutions that can be included in the base of the TPN... pg 108-109
Dextrose, Amino Acids, Liposyn, and Sterile Water to adjust the volume
This is what all parenteral nutrition solutions are filtered with... pg 113
A 0.2 micron filter
This is considered to be the 3 in 1 solution. pg 108
500 mL of 20% Liposyn provides this... pg 109

What are indications or conditions that may require parenteral nutrition? pg 107
Massive bowel surgery, pancreatitis, malnourished patients, severe burns, and trauma or coma
What are Macronutrients? pg 108
Sources of Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats
This is the amount of potassium needed for each 1000 calories provided parenterally... pg 109
Approximately 30 to 40 mEq
This is how the ingredients are measured when using an automated compounder... pg 112
What is g/mL?
This is what proteins are necessary for... pg 109
To promote the replacement of cells, tissue growth, and tissue repair.
This is the concentration of Dextrose that can be given in a Peripheral TPN. pg 108
What is 10%?
T/F - 3000mL of Dextrose can supply a patient with 1500 calories. pg 108
False - it will provide the patient with 1000 calories
These are electrolytes... pg 109
What are potassium phosphate, calcium gluconate, magnesium sulfate, and potassium chloride?
T/F A Peripheral line can have a final Dextrose concentration of 50%... pg 108
False it can only have up to 10%
This trace element aids in wound healing. pg 110
What is zinc?
T/F - Automated compounding machines are kept in the ante area. pg 112
False - They are kept directly inside the laminar airflow workbench (LAFW)
