Answer:

A client who has cancer and is receiving TPN. The following lab findings indicate the treatment is effective:

  • Prealbumin 30 mg/dL

Step-by-step explanation:

  • TPN stands for total parental nutrition. It is a method of giving nutrition to a person in which nutrients are given to the vein in order to bypass the gastrointestinal tract because that person is unable to take food through mouth.
  • The prealbumin blood test is used to check that a person is getting required amount of nutrients and the normal test indicates that prealbumin is 30 mg/dL so that's why the lab finding indicates that the treatment is effective.
