The physician would like to choose a sedating agent that can be given intravenously and will have a quick onset of action and short half-life. Which of the following agents would be ideal for this purpose?? A: Succinylcholine, B: Hydromorphone, C: Sodium thiopental, D: Isoflurane, E: Lidocaine,  <response>: This question is asking about an intravenous anesthetic agent that has a quick onset and short duration of action for a short surgical procedure. Succinylcholine is a neuromuscular blocker, not a sedative, so it would not be appropriate. Hydromorphone is an opioid analgesic, which can provide sedation but has a longer duration than needed for a short procedure. Sodium thiopental is an ultra-short acting barbiturate that can be given IV and has a very rapid onset and short duration, making it a good option.Isoflurane is an inhalational anesthetic gas, not given IV, so it does not fit the route specified. Lidocaine can be given IV but is a local anesthetic, not typically used alone for sedationgeneral anesthesia.C: Sodium thiopental
