Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipid emulsions can be given concurrently with parenteral nutrition (PN) through the same I.V. administration set, often as part of a total nutrient admixture or through a Y-connector if compatibility has been established. Blood, platelets, and intravenous piggyback medications should not be administered through the same line as PN due to the risk of reactions and incompatibilities.
