  1. Which of the following effects is prevented from occurring on the target nerve during the administration of a local anesthetic agent?

a.

Resting potential

b.

Action potential

c.

Refractory period

d.

Repolarization

ANS: B

Feedback

A

The resting potential occurs when the difference in charge exists and the outside of the nerve cell membrane has a positive charge, while the inside has a negative charge. It occurs in the nonstimulated nerve.

B

Local anesthetic agents are administered to prevent an action potential, which is a rapid depolarization of the nerve cell membrane resulting in generation of a nerve impulse. An action potential temporarily reverses the resting potential that exists.

C

The refractory period refers to a brief period after an action potential, during which the nerve CANNOT be stimulated.

D

The repolarization reestablishes the resting potential.
