    Author: Palm E, Dotson B.
    Journal: JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr; 2015 Nov; 39(8):986-9. PubMed ID: 25189172.
    Abstract:
    Drug shortages in the United States, including parenteral nutrition (PN) components, have been common in recent years and can adversely affect patient care. Here we report a case of copper and zinc deficiency in a patient receiving PN during a shortage of parenteral trace element products. The management of the patient's deficiencies, including the use of an imported parenteral multi-trace element product, is described.
