Is TPN recommended in previously well-nourished patients with longstanding postoperative ileus?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
TPN (total parenteral nutrition) is a method of providing nutrition intravenously when the patient is unable to consume food orally. In the case of previously well-nourished patients with longstanding postoperative ileus, where there is a delay in the normal movement of the intestines, TPN may be recommended. This is because the patient may not be able to receive adequate nutrition through oral intake alone. TPN can help provide the necessary nutrients and prevent malnutrition in these patients. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.
