Can you run potassium chloride and TPN in a double lumen PICC line?
You can run almost anything on the other lumen when running TPN. You just can't run anything on or draw blood from the lumen that the TPN is connected to. It is just too high of an infection risk! Plus if they get the infection the hospital doesn't get paid for treating the infection.

What is vancomycin used for?
Vancomycin belongs to a group of antibiotics called glycopeptides. Bacteria have an external cell wall that is reinforced by molecules called peptidoglycans. The cell wall is vital for protection against the normal environment of the body in which the bacteria live. Vancomycin works by blocking the formation of these peptidoglycans. By doing this the walls of the bacteria become weak and it results in the death of the bacteria. Vancomycin injection is used to treat serious infections of the body including infections of the heart and blood.
Which tissue is more apt to line a lumen?
Epithelial tissue is more apt to line a lumen due to its characteristic of forming continuous cellular sheets that provide a protective barrier. This type of tissue is found in organs that have cavities or spaces, such as the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and blood vessels.
Can you give liquid morphine sublingual in a pic line?
No. For one reason, you cannot go sublingually through a PICC line, as a PICC line would not be inserted sublingually. The most glaring issue however, is that oral morphine (which I think you are suggesting) can only be given orally. A PICC line is an intravenous route, and would therefore not be appropriate.
