  1. IV therapy & TPN

    Thank you everyone. I did end up finding my answers I needed with a little research. I get so stressed out with this nursing program! I really appreciate all the replys!

  2. IV therapy & TPN

    Armymom2x posted a topic in General Students
    Hello all! I am a nursing student and I have a question regarding IV therapy (this is for our case study-but I cannot find the answer I am looking for in my books). Our 'patient' has an NGT (this is many what the case study is about). She is 3 days post NGT suctioning. Her Na is 130; K 2.5; Cl 97; C03 31; BUN 38; Creatinine 2.2; glucose 65; Albumin 2.1; protein 4.9. She is NPO (small bowel obstruction). Our question is regarding IV therapy and what measures would be taken to correct the imbalances. First I would think we would administer isotonic fluids, but my question is really about TPN-would TPN take care of all lyte imbalances? I know TPN contains lytes, glucose, and minerals... but would it help in her case? Does anyone have a web link that might help me understand IV therapy?
