True or False: Urticaria alone can be considered an anaphylactic reaction when a patient is exposed to a probable allergen?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

Urticaria alone is not considered an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylactic reactions typically involve more severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat and tongue, and low blood pressure. Urticaria, also known as hives, is a type of skin rash that is usually an allergic reaction, but it is not necessarily indicative of anaphylaxis. Therefore, the statement is false.
