A. Central venous access device B. Midline catheter C. Subcutaneous D. Intraosseous

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Total parental nutrition (TPN) is a highly concentrated intravenous nutritional solution that provides essential nutrients. It is administered through a central venous access device to ensure proper dilution and delivery.

Choice B rationale:

A midline catheter is not appropriate for administering TPN, as it may not be suitable for the concentrated solution.

Choice C rationale:

Subcutaneous administration is not suitable for TPN, as it requires intravenous access to provide the necessary nutrients directly into the bloodstream.

Choice D rationale:

Intraosseous access is not commonly used for long-term nutritional support like TPN; it is more often used for emergent situations.
