Making the NITA Standards Work for You

Abstract

The foliowing case studies illustrate how the NITA Standards of Practice may be utilized by a nurse to guide the clinical practice of I.V./parenteral nutrition therapy and to promote quality patient care. Because the case studies address only a few points, it is anticipated that the practitioner will refer to the NITA Standards of Practice when clinical questions relative to I.V. Therapy and total parenteral nutrition arise.
