Hanging lipids via piggyback

Published

What are the right things to do when hanging lipids via piggyback? I have the fundamentals of nursing book 8th edition and read through the fat emulsions section over 50x and can't find anything helpful. Can anyone help me? The chapter in the book is 44 nutrition and I was referring to page 1021. Thanks for any help possible :)
