Intervention: Use strict aseptic
technique with IV tubing, dressing
changes, and TPN solutions .
Refrigerate solution until 30 minutes
before using. ( Infusing site is high risk for developing infection)
Maintain accurate infusion rate changes
gradually, ( Never discontinue TPN abruptly
may cause hypoglycemia and sudden
change in flow rate -can cause fluctuations
in blood glucose levels
Obtain health history,
allergies, drug history possible
drug interactions
Intervention : Monitor Blood glucose,
observe for signs of hyperglycemia and
hypoglycemia, and administer insulin as
directed. Blood glucose levels may be
affected if TPN is turned off, if the rate is
reduced or if excess levels of insulin are
added to the solution
Assess for presence of
history of deficits such as
inadequate oral intake, GI
disease, and increase metabolic need
Intervention:
Monitor
VS,observe
for signs of
infection
(High Temp)
Monitor for
signs of fluid
overload, (TPN
is hypertonic
solution and
can create
intravascular
shifting of
extracellular
fluid
Goals, Client will : 1, Exhibit improvement or stabilization of
nutritional status, 2. Be free of infection or injury related to TPN .
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the drugs actions by
accurately describing drug side effects and precautions
4.Immediately report side effects such as symptoms of
hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, fever, chills cough, or malaise
