Anune is assessing a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an adverse effect of TPN?

Choice A reason: Tuna can is not a safe food choice for a client who has food allergies because it may contain traces of other fish or shellfish that can trigger an allergic reaction. Tuna can should be avoided or checked for allergen labels before consuming.

Choice B reason: Gravy beef is not a safe food choice for a client who has food allergies because it may contain gluten, soy, or dairy products that can trigger an allergic reaction. Gravy beef should be avoided or checked for allergen labels before consuming.

Choice C reason: Apple pie is a safe food choice for a client who has food allergies because it is unlikely to contain common allergens, such as nuts, eggs, or milk. Apple pie is made from cooked apples, sugar, flour, and butter, which are low-risk ingredients for food allergies. Apple pie should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer after cooling to prevent spoilage.

Choice D reason: Bread is not a safe food choice for a client who has food allergies because it may contain gluten, wheat, or sesame seeds that can trigger an allergic reaction. Bread should be avoided or checked for allergen labels before consuming.

Choice A reason: The client's creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL is within the normal range (0.6-1.2), but it does not indicate the effectiveness of the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism that is filtered by the kidneys. High creatinine levels can indicate kidney damage or impaired renal function.

Choice B reason: The client's urine output of 35 mL/hr is below the normal range (40-60), and it indicates the need for further assessment. Low urine output can indicate dehydration, urinary retention, or kidney failure.

Choice C reason: The client's stool consistency and color are not related to the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Soft, brown stool is normal and does not indicate any problem with the digestive system.

Choice D reason: The client's ability to urinate without straining indicates that the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia has been effective. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges and compresses the urethra, causing difficulty in urination. Treatment options include medication, surgery, or minimally invasive procedures to reduce the size of the prostate and relieve urinary obstruction.
