Why are weight and laboratory reports checked in a patient receiving parenteral nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To assess nutritional effect and possible imbalance
Parenteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, so errors or changing needs can quickly affect glucose, electrolytes, fluid balance, liver function, and other indicators. Weight and laboratory results help assess adequacy, detect complications, and guide safe adjustment by the clinical team.
