Which of the following solutions should the nurse infuse until the next TPN solution is available?

Lactated Ringer’s.

0.9% sodium chloride.

Sodium chloride.

Dextrose 10% in water.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

If there is a delay in receiving the new TPN solution from the pharmacy, the nurse should infuse Dextrose 10% in water until the next TPN solution is available. This is because stopping TPN abruptly can cause hypoglycemia. Dextrose 10% in water can provide a source of glucose to prevent hypoglycemia.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Lifting a patient under the shoulders by two nurses can be strenuous and may not provide adequate support for a patient who can only partially assist.

Choice B rationale

While this method may work for some patients, it relies heavily on the patient’s strength and ability to push with their feet. If the patient is weak or unable to exert enough force, this method could be unsafe.

Choice C rationale

Using a device to reduce friction is the most appropriate technique when shifting a patient who can only partially assist. Devices such as slide sheets or transfer boards can help move the patient smoothly and with less physical strain on the healthcare provider.

Choice D rationale

Lifting the patient’s legs while the patient uses a trapeze bar requires significant upper body strength from the patient and may not be feasible for all patients.

A. Identity vs. role confusion B. Trust vs. mistrust C. Industry vs. inferiority D. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt E. Initiative vs. guilt
