NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 62: Total Parenteral Nutrition and Enteral Nutrition: Monitoring, Complications, and Tube Feeding Safety

Sarah Mitchell covers feeding patients who cannot eat: running TPN through a dedicated central lumen with a filter and 24-hour bag changes, hanging D10W if a bag runs out, glucose checks every four to six hours, refeeding syndrome, and lipid precautions. She then walks through feeding tube verification by X-ray and pH, head-of-bed and flushing rules, hang times, aspiration, clogging, dumping syndrome, and giving medications such as phenytoin through a tube.
