Parenteral nutrition should only be infused via a central vein.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Parenteral nutrition is a method of providing nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. While it is commonly administered through a central vein, such as the subclavian or jugular vein, it can also be infused through a peripheral vein. This is known as peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) and is suitable for patients with short-term nutritional needs or when central access is not feasible or contraindicated. Therefore, the statement that parenteral nutrition should only be infused via a central vein is false.
