Mary, I would not count the TPN in section O at all, unless there were specific medications added to it. Count in Section K for IV feeding.     Holly F.

I have coded the TPN as 1 medicine and I have coded it as high as 18 counting every ingredient that was put in the TPN bag. It is not clear to me in the MDS manual.   Thank you in advance,  Mary Wright
