I was having this discussion with a friend, but we later agree to to these. Hope this will benefit all nurses student still in school or awaiting to take NCLEX. Is more or less like a study :rckn:group. If you think you have any question you can thread and pple will respond with answer. Just thread in question with no answer to see what you have learn so far.
Absence of bubbling in the water seal compartment indicate what?:thnkg:
I came across this question but have a doubting mind regarding the correct answer, so i decided to throw out the question to see what is your own take and give us the rationale for picking the answer.
An RN receives an order that read: Add 2mg of folic acid to the next bag of TPN. The nurse should
1-Inject the Folic acid into the bag of the TPN using a sterile procedure.
2-Send the next numbered of bag of TPN along with the order to the pharmacy.
3-Look on the compatibility chart to determine if folic acid is safe to be mixed with TPN.
When dealing with TPN I would call the doctor!!!! The order is not clarified and all you are given is 2mg of folic acid added with the next round of TPN..I just think it could mean many different things, and since I would be the one administering it, I would not do so without clarification from the doc....To many things can go wrong with TPN!

the order is right.
the answer is b because tpn should never be altered on the nursing unit and it can only be done by the pharmacy.
the other option are incorrect. option 3 says to check for compatibility before mixing folic acid to tpn, even though the folic acid is compatible with tpn, nothing should be added to the tpn in the nursing unit because there is probability of introducing infection to the tpn
