Parenteral fluid refers to a sterile liquid administered directly into the body via injection, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. It is commonly used in medical settings for hydration, nutrient delivery, or medication administration, particularly when oral intake is not possible. Types of parenteral fluids include intravenous (IV) solutions, such as saline, dextrose, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). These fluids are essential for patients requiring immediate or long-term support.

What conditions should the containers of parenteral products have?
The containers should maintain the product's sterility, be compatible with the fluid, and allow its contents to be withdrawn.
Does total parenteral nutrition or peripheral parenteral nutrition use a larger nutrient bag?
Total parenteral nutrition uses a larger bag.
What factors of the patient should be examined when administrating parenteral nutrition?

What is a non-parenteral drug?
Parenteral administration is any administration that is not via the GI system, meaning oral or rectal. Parenteral means "around the enteral system."
