Answer:
A client who has cancer and is receiving TPN. The following lab findings indicate the treatment is effective:
- Prealbumin 30 mg/dL
Explanation:
- TPN stands for total parental nutrition. It is a method of giving nutrition to a person in which nutrients are given to the vein in order to bypass the gastrointestinal tract because that person is unable to take food through mouth.
- The prealbumin blood test is used to check that a person is getting required amount of nutrients and the normal test indicates that prealbumin is 30 mg/dL so that's why the lab finding indicates that the treatment is effective.
