    1. allergies, drug history, drug interactions
      1. presence or history of nutritional deficits
        1. physical exam
          1. TPN solution is appropriate for patient age and organ function status
            1. lab studies: protein/albumin, creatinine/BUN, CBC electrolytes, lipid profile, serum iron levels
            2. goals
              1. no adverse reaction to TPN
                1. lab studies stay within normal ranges/improve
