Standardized Competencies For Parenteral Nutrition Prescribing: The American Society For Parenteral And Enteral Nutrition Model, Peggi Guenter, Joseph I. Boullata, Phil Ayers, Jane Gervasio, Ainsley Malone, Erica Raymond, Beverly Holcombe, Michael Kraft, Gordon Sacks, David Seres

Jane M. Gervasio

Parenteral nutrition (PN) provision is complex, as it is a high-alert medication and prone to a variety of potential errors.

Safe prescribing of this therapy requires that competency for prescribers from all disciplines be demonstrated using a standardized process. A standardized model for PN prescribing competency is proposed based on a competency framework, the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.)–published interdisciplinary core competencies, safe practice recommendations, and clinical guidelines. This framework will guide institutions and agencies in developing and maintaining …

Anabolic Agents: Adjuncts To Nutrition Support, Jane Gervasio

Jane M. Gervasio

Anabolic agents as adjuncts to nutrition support therapy have been used to improve malnutrition and establish anabolism. Growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, and anabolic steroids have been studied for their potential to reverse the catabolic process and promote anabolism. This paper reviews several anabolic agents and their possible role in nutrition support therapy.

A Systematic Approach To Parenteral Nutrition Order Review And Verification, Phil Ayers, Jane Gervasio, Beverly Holcombe

Jane M. Gervasio

Because PN administration errors occur at the point of patient contact, mistakes in this phase of the medication delivery process are less likely than other types of PN errors to be intercepted, and more likely to cause harm. Data pertaining to the incidence of errors related to PN administration are scarce. A recent survey revealed that 44% of organizations do not track PN-related medication errors and do not know where in the process errors may be happening. The literature does provide some insight into the scope of the problem, however. In one prospective observational study of errors associated with parenteral …
