title: The impact of nursing practice on the history and effectiveness of total parenteral nutrition.
abstract: Nutrition support nursing grew out of the development of total parenteral nutrition in the late 1960s. Nurses contributed to the development of safe and effective delivery of parenteral nutrition and continue to serve on nutrition and metabolic teams in a variety of ways. Research demonstrating the positive effect of the nurse and the team are presented here, along with the history, evolution, and current state of nutrition support nursing.
