Which of the following classes of medications is most likely to be administered by the intravenous piggyback method?

  1. Antibiotics

  2. Opioids

  3. Insulins

  4. Erythropoiesis regulating hormones

The correct answer is: Antibiotics

Intravenous piggyback method, or IV piggyback, involves administering a medication through an injection into an existing IV line. This allows for the medication to be delivered directly and quickly into the bloodstream. Antibiotics are commonly given through IV piggyback because they require rapid and consistent doses to be effective. Opioids, insulins, and erythropoiesis regulating hormones can also be administered through IV piggyback, but they are not typically the preferred method due to the varying needs and potential risks associated with each medication. Therefore, option A, Antibiotics, is the most likely class of medication to be administered by IV piggyback.
