Typically in an IV (intravenous) drip.
plain NSS or plain Normal Saline Solution is simply 0.9% NaCl
No, plain normal saline solution is not typically used for diluting the drug ampicillin. Ampicillin is usually dissolved in sterile water for injection or another appropriate diluent as specified by the medication's manufacturer. Using the correct diluent ensures the stability and effectiveness of the drug.
No, drinking normal saline is not recommended for hydration purposes as it can disrupt the balance of electrolytes in the body. It is better to drink plain water or electrolyte solutions for hydration.
No, drinking saline solution is not safe for hydration purposes as it can lead to dehydration and other health risks. It is recommended to drink plain water or electrolyte solutions specifically designed for hydration.
The fluid in our bodies is composed of 0.9 Sodium Chloride. An individual will recover from dehydration much quicker when given a saline solution rather than just plain water.

A: Yes. Inserting plain water into an IV can kill a patient. The solution must be made of saline, an isotonic solution of sodium chloride and distilled water. If the IV is made of plain water, then it will be hypotonic to blood cells, causing them to burst.
Because the osmotic pressure of "plain" water can be too much for bacteria, causing them to pop, and throw off your colony counts during your serial dilutions. A buffered saline solution keeps the bacteria at their usual osmotic pressure. Typical saline is 0.85%.

Yes it can. That is all that most eye washes/drops are; salt water (with some preservative added in). You can even make your own if you have distilled water and salt. Make sure to use distilled water because water carries contaminants very well. And use what you make right away since your not adding a preservative.
I am not a doctor and I could be wrong but an IV bag is pretty saline solution(salt water/electrolytes). The whole purpose is to rehydrate you faster hence the solution. An IV is there for efficiency and quickness. Water will do the trick just not the same affect.
normal plain and not spicey
