    Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a nutritional intervention used when the gastrointestinal tract is not functioning to deliver nutrients intravenously. Two complications associated with TPN include infection/sepsis and metabolic complications such as hyperglycemia and hyperkalemia. Five nursing interventions when implementing TPN include monitoring vital signs and intake/output, checking labs per protocol, monitoring for cracks in the TPN solution, maintaining strict aseptic technique, and reviewing teaching needs with the client.
