PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Parenteral nutrition (PN), a high-alert medication, is used for numerous indications. This symposium provides the latest practical approaches to optimize PN and injectable lipid emulsions in adult home and hospital patients. The faculty will also review the recent ASPEN guidance for PN filtration. Cases are used to enhance the learning experience.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:

• Identify dosing of various injectable lipid emulsions to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency
• Demonstrate appropriate use of injectable lipid emulsions in hospital and home adult patients
• Recognize factors that increase risk for complications related to parenteral nutrition and injectable lipid emulsion solutions
• Recommend guideline-based filtering for parenteral nutrition and injectable lipid emulsion solutions
