If a patient suddenly becomes unconscious during a dental treatment, the dental team should treat the patient for anaphylaxis.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)

False

If the dental staff cannot determine if an anaphylactic reaction caused the patient to become unconscious, the patient should not treat for anaphylaxis. This is because administering epinephrine, which increases blood pressure, could cause extreme harm to a patient experiencing another medical emergency, such as a cerebrovascular accident.
