The provider has recommended the patient to go on PPN, have a central line placed, and then have TPN started. Previously the patient refused a PEG tube placement. The patient did not say anything while the physician was proposing the PPN/TPN option. However, once the physician had left, she became upset and was saying, “No, no, no, no! I would rather die.” when asked if she would sign the consent for the central line placement.
