Final answer:

Glucose is a sample for which hemolysis may not occur, unlike potassium, lactate, and ammonia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the given options, a sample that may not be hemolyzed is glucose.

Hemolysis refers to the destruction or breakdown of red blood cells. In the context of this question, if a sample causes hemolysis, it means that it causes the red blood cells to rupture and release their contents. In the case of glucose, it does not have the ability to cause hemolysis. Glucose is a simple sugar that is naturally present in the blood and serves as an important source of energy for cells.

On the other hand, the other options (potassium, lactate, and ammonia) are substances that can potentially cause hemolysis if present in high concentrations or under certain conditions.
