Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measuring weights daily is important to monitor for fluid overload or depletion, which is common with patients receiving TPN. Option A is incorrect as the rate of infusion is calculated based on the patient's individual needs and should not be pushed to the maximum without adjusting for tolerance. Option B is incorrect as TPN infusions must be administered with a pump to ensure accuracy and avoid complications. Option D is incorrect as blood glucose levels need to be monitored frequently (as often as every 4-6 hours) to avoid hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
