This educational activity will review fetal physiology related to arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels and examine the use of lipid emulsions on fatty acid balance. At the conclusion of this activity, learners will critically evaluate lipid emulsion options in their NICU unit to determine if changes are appropriate for the patient population and if so, initiate an evidenced-based intervention in their NICU.

1. Describe the change in fatty acid balance in the early postpartum period and its medical implications.
2. Discuss the impact of lipid emulsion choice on fatty acid balance.
3. Detail the biological impact of arachidonic acid in organogenesis, immune ontogeny, and development.
