If a patient is receiving parenteral nutrition, which team-based care is most necessary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Monitoring by the doctor and nutrition specialist
Parenteral nutrition requires coordinated care because nutrients enter the bloodstream and the prescription must be adjusted to the patient's illness, fluid status, laboratory results, and metabolic needs. Doctors, dietitians, nurses, and pharmacists may collaborate to monitor the catheter, sterility, glucose, electrolytes, liver function, tolerance, and complications. Informal advice cannot replace this team care.
