Which solution is preferred for Ampicillin administration?

  1. Glucose

  2. Saline

  3. Water for Injection

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Saline

While Glucose, saline, and water for injection may all be used for Ampicillin administration, saline is typically preferred due to its compatibility with a wider range of medications and lower risk for adverse reactions. Glucose is not usually used for Ampicillin administration due to its potential to increase bacterial growth. Water for injection is also not a preferred choice as it does not contain electrolytes and can potentially cause electrolyte imbalances.
