Rationale 1: The GI tract is not being used. Clients with severe malabsorption disease may be successfully treated with TPN.
Rationale 2: When the metabolic needs of the client are unable to be met through enteral nutrition, TPN is indicated. Because the GI tract is not being used, clients with severe malabsorption disease may be successfully treated with TPN.
Rationale 3: The GI tract is not being used. Clients with severe malabsorption disease may be successfully treated with TPN.
Rationale 4: The GI tract is not being used. Clients with severe malabsorption disease may be successfully treated with TPN.
Global Rationale: When the metabolic needs of the client are unable to be met through enteral nutrition, TPN is indicated. Because the GI tract is not being used, clients with severe malabsorption disease may be successfully treated with TPN. Enteral feeding, supplements of macro and trace elements, and herbal preparations all require the GI tract to be used; therefore, they are all inappropriate treatments for this client.
