title: Intradialytic parenteral nutrition: a practical approach.
abstract: Intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) therapy is becoming more prevalent in the malnourished patient undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. This is of particular concern to the nephrology nurse in that additional time is required to administer the solution, monitor the patient, and document the process. The IDPN monitoring flowsheet described in this article was developed to promote continuity of care from treatment to treatment, especially during initiation of IDPN, and to assist the nephrology nurse in administering and monitoring the therapy.
