Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is a neuromuscular blocker that paralyzes muscles, including those of respiration. Spontaneous bleeding is not related to this drug. Delirium is not related to this drug. Allergic reactions, like anaphylactic shock, are uncommon with this drug.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: In surgical anesthesia, skeletal muscles become relaxed, cardiovascular and breathing activities stabilize, and eye movements are slow. Heart rate and breathing become irregular in Stage 2, not Stage 3. The medulla region of the brain is paralyzed in Stage 4, not Stage 3. Eye movements are slow, and general sensation is lost in Stage 1, not Stage 3.
