To prevent infection, parenteral nutrition tubing is changed every time a new bag is added to the infusion. A 1.2-micron filter is used to trap bacteria. Record the patient's temperature every 4 hours during the infusion, and report to the prescriber immediately any increase in temperature over 100° F (37.8° C).
