What is the action of Neuromuscular blocking agents?

  1. Relieve pain

  2. Induce sleep

  3. Paralysis of skeletal muscle

  4. Decrease inflammation

The correct answer is: Paralysis of skeletal muscle

Neuromuscular blocking agents are substances that block the normal communication between nerves and muscles. This results in the temporary paralysis of skeletal muscles, which can be used to facilitate surgical procedures, intubation, and mechanical ventilation. Neuromuscular blocking agents do not have the ability to relieve pain, induce sleep, or decrease inflammation, so options A, B, and D are incorrect.
