Question

Refer to the TPN order form available. The TPN is to be infused

over 24 hours. What amount of amino acids is needed to prepare the
TPN?
PARENTERAL NUTRITION ORDER FORM Basesolution (select one): 1. Amino acids \( 5 \% \) and dextrose \( 25 \% \) (central) at target PN rate of Qumino acids \( 5 \% \) and dextrose \( 25 \% \) (central)

Answer 1

The question relates to the preparation of TPN and the calculation of amino acids needed based on the percentage in the base solution, which is 5%. The specific volume of the TPN order is not provided; therefore, the exact amount of amino acids required cannot be determined without this information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the amount of amino acids needed to prepare Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). Given that the base solution contains 5% amino acids and is to be infused over 24 hours, the calculation would depend on the total volume of solution to be infused. However, the specific volume to be infused is not provided in the question.

To proceed with the calculation one would usually multiply the total volume of the solution by the percentage of amino acids. For instance, if the TPN order required 2,000 mL of solution, the calculation would be 2,000 mL x 0.05 (5%) = 100 mL of amino acids required for the preparation.

Without the total infusion volume, it is not possible to determine the exact amount of amino acids needed for this TPN preparation.
