Cyclic parenteral nutrition is administered over a shorter period (usually 8-12 hours) at night, allowing patients to have freedom during the day to participate in routine activities. Continuous parenteral nutrition is administered over a longer period (usually 24 hours) and requires the patient to be attached to the infusion pump at all times. Peripheral parenteral nutrition is a type of nutrition administered through a peripheral vein, while piggyback refers to administrating medication through an existing IV line. These options are not relevant to the question.
