What is TPN and how is TPN administered?

Nurse administering total parenteral nutrition

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a way to feed the body vital nutrients through an IV drip. The therapy allows medical providers to provide balanced nutrients quickly by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and delivering the solution straight to the veins. This form of feeding prevents malnutrition and sustains life when a person is unable to eat or absorb nutrients.

TPN supplies the body with its daily requirements, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and vitamins.
