Replace total parenteral nutrition solution bags every 48 hr.

Replace peripheral IV solution bags every 96 hr.

Change peripheral IV primary tubing every 96 hr.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) IV tubing should be changed every 24 hours due to the high risk of infection associated with TPN. Changing it every 48 hours is not recommended and could lead to increased patient risk.

B. Total parenteral nutrition solution bags should be changed every 12 to 24 hrs depending on the constituents

C. Peripheral IV solution bags should be replaced every 24 hrs.

D The Infusion Nurses Society (INS) Standards of Practice recommend changing peripheral IV primary tubing every 96 hours. This is considered a cost-effective practice as it reduces the frequency of changing the tubing, thus saving resources, without compromising patient safety.
