Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedative pain-relieving drugs that produce feelings of disconnectedness from the body, along with depressant and stimulant effects, are called dissociative anesthetics. Examples include ketamine, PCP, and dextromethorphan. Anesthetic psychostimulants (A) and depressant hallucinogens (B) are not accurate descriptions of these drugs. Kappa agonists (D) are a type of opioid receptor agonist and do not produce the same effects as dissociative anesthetics.
