Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

D
Neuromuscular blocking agents cause relaxation of the skeletal muscle, producing a state known as flaccid paralysis. However, they do not cross the blood-brain barrier and thus would not lead to unconsciousness.
Neuromuscular blockers do not cause unconsciousness, because they do not cross the blood-brain barrier.
Neuromuscular blockers would not cause the patient to be heavily sedated, because they cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.
Neuromuscular blockers would not cause the patient to be stuporous, but arousable, because they do not cross the blood-brain barrier.
