I seldom fertilize my plants, so I am not familiar with the short form and terms. Thanks.
NPK are the chemical symbols for the three most important elements for plant health. N is Nitrogen, used in the cell walls and protein manufacting, in other word leaf production. P is short for Ph phorsphous which is involved in general health and energy usuage system (ATP). K is the symbol for potassium which is used mostly in flower and fruit production.

Wijaya- thanks for the insight into pollination of nepenthes.
