Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Neuromuscular blockers or skeletal muscle relaxants paralyze all skeletal muscles, including the diaphragm and accessory muscles of respiration. Neuromuscular blockers are classified as nondepolarizing or depolarizing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Isoflurane comes closer to an ideal inhalation agent and is most commonly used. It is nonflammable, potent, and protects the heart.
