Answer Choices:
Dextrose 10% in water
🥤 Dextrose 10% in water — This is correct because TPN contains high concentrations of glucose, and a sudden stop in TPN infusion can lead to hypoglycemia. Dextrose 10% in water (D10W) is the best temporary replacement to maintain blood glucose levels and prevent complications until the TPN is restarted.
🥤 3% sodium chloride — This is incorrect because it is a hypertonic saline solution used for severe hyponatremia, not for substituting TPN.
🥤 Lactated Ringers — This is incorrect because it does not contain the necessary glucose content to prevent hypoglycemia.
🥤 0.9% sodium chloride — This is incorrect because it also lacks glucose and does not provide nutritional support or blood sugar maintenance in the absence of TPN.
