                                Yes, new IV tubing is required for each new bag of Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), particularly due to the solution's high nutrient content which provides an excellent medium for bacterial growth. This strict protocol is a cornerstone of infection control in patients receiving intravenous feeding.
