Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Succinylcholine is the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocker and produces a brief period of muscle contraction before inducing flaccid paralysis. Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers, on the other hand, directly cause flaccid paralysis. Therefore, option A is the most accurate statement. Option B is incorrect because it describes the effect of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers. Option C is also incorrect because succinylcholine does not produce sedation-like effects. Option D is partially incorrect because nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers produce a more prolonged state of paralysis than succinylcholine.
