The following blood values are monitored; sodium, potassium, chloride, CO 2 content, BUN, creatinine, blood sugar, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, hemoglobin, hematocrit and white blood cell count. Other additional blood tests may also be needed to monitor you while you receive TPN.

Assessment: The nurse assesses the client, they assess and validate the client's need for hyperalimentation including laboratory diagnostic test results, and they also establish baselines prior to the total parenteral nutrition feedings which include baseline bodily weight, baseline vital signs, baseline levels of ...

Assess for breathing and pulse. Simultaneously, check the carotid pulse for a minimum of 5 seconds—but no more than 10 seconds—to determine if there is a pulse present. It's important to minimize delay in starting CPR, so take no more than 10 seconds to assess the patient.

Peripheral Parenteral Nutrition (PPN) As a result, PPN solutions generally provide significantly fewer calories than TPN solutions. PPN is prescribed for short-term nutritional support, usually for 2 weeks or less.

Patients receiving TPN must be closely monitored. Glucose should be monitored several times a day until stable, and then at least daily. Intake and output as well as weight should also be monitored daily.

TPN is given intravenously, directly into the bloodstream of a patient. Unlike TPN, tube feeding is given by inserting a feeding tube into the patient's nose, mouth, or digestive system (such as the stomach or small intestine).

Enteral nutrition (EN) provides critical macro and micronutrients to individuals who cannot maintain sufficient oral intake to meet their nutritional needs. EN is most commonly required for neurological conditions that impair swallow function, such as stroke, amytrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.

As the names imply, PPN is generally used for patients who need supplementary nutrition, while TPN is for patients who require all of their dietary needs replaced.

EN is variably defined, but in general, it provides nourishment into the gut, and may include diet, oral supplementation, and feeding via a tube. For this analysis, the studies reported include patients being fed by tube, except when noted otherwise. PN includes nourishment by central and peripheral veins.

In general, enteral nutrition is preferred to parenteral nutrition as it is more physiological, simpler, cheaper and less complicated. However even nasogastric feeding needs care and the more complex types of enteral nutrition such as gastrostomy and jejunostomy need significant interventions.

Changes in fluid balance, weight, and caloric intake are used to assess TPN effectiveness. Daily weights are done to determine if nutritional goals are being met. Weight is also used to assess fluid volume status. Weight gain of more than 1/2 pound per day may indicate fluid retention.
