ANS: C
Patients receiving succinylcholine may experience postprocedural muscle pain, most commonly in the neck, shoulders, and back; it may persist for several hours to several days but is not permanent.
Arrhythmias are not associated with the administration of succinylcholine.
Nerve damage is not associated with the administration of succinylcholine.
All medications are associated with side effects, even if minimal and rare, including succinylcholine.
