Parenteral nutrition is a method of providing nutrients to the body intravenously when a person cannot eat or absorb enough nutrients from food. It involves delivering a customized mixture of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fat and protein through an intravenous catheter or central line. Potential complications include infection, clotting of the catheter, fluid overload, and electrolyte or blood sugar imbalances. Proper maintenance such as monitoring glucose and electrolyte levels, changing administration sets, and dressing changes are required to safely deliver parenteral nutrition.
