10. Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) Solution Review the following order for a TPN solution and calculate the volume of each ingredient/component to prepare 1-liter of solution. The prescribed quantity and/or concentration of each nutrient is listed in the column on the left. The third column lists how each ingredient is supplied (source/stock container). For the stock containers, you may use partial, complete, or multiple containers to provide the volume necessary for the order. Medication (TPN) Order | Valence | MW | How Supplied (Source) | Volume to Measure Amino acids 5.25% | N/A | | Amino acid 15% injection solution; 1000 mL container | Dextrose 22% | N/A | | D50W injection solution; 100 mL vial | Sodium Chloride 25 mEq | 1 | 58.5 | NaCl 14.6% injection solution; 40-mL vial | Potassium Chloride 18 mEq | 1 | 74.5 | KCl 29.8% injection solution; 50-mL vial | Magnesium sulfate 12 mEq | 2 | 144 | MgSO4 heptahydrate 12.5% injection solution; 10-mL vial | Calcium gluconate 4 mEq | 2 | 430 | CaGluconate 10% injection solution; 30-mL vial | MVI-12 10mL | N/A | | MVI-12 injection solution; 10-mL vial | 10-mL Trace Elements 3 mL | N/A | | MTE injection solution; 3-mL vial | 3-mL Sterile Water for injection qs 1000 mL | N/A | | SWFI; 1000 mL container | *Note: all ingredients are commercial, sterile injection solutions Procedure: 1. Calculate the required quantity of each ingredient 2. Weigh and/or measure each ingredient accurately 3. Mix ingredients/components utilizing aseptic technique 4. Mix well 5. Cover injection port with a tamper seal Calculations: Calculate the volume, in mL, of each source to provide the desired quantity and/or concentration of each nutrient.
