Which statement about allergies and medications is NOT true?

  1. Allergic reactions can cause rashes and swelling

  2. Allergic reactions are always life-threatening

  3. Some allergic reactions can include itching

  4. Allergic reactions may vary in severity

The correct answer is: Allergic reactions are always life-threatening

The statement that allergic reactions are always life-threatening is not true. While some allergic reactions can be severe and potentially life-threatening, such as anaphylaxis, many allergic reactions are mild and may only cause symptoms like rashes, itching, or swelling without posing a significant risk to life. Understanding the nature of allergic reactions is crucial in medication management. Many people can experience allergies with varying degrees of severity. The fact that reactions can range from mild to severe means that most individuals may have allergic responses that are not life-threatening and can be managed with appropriate interventions or medications. This understanding helps medication aides assess patient symptoms accurately and determine the necessary course of action when they encounter allergic reactions in patients.
