Anaphylaxis is a common complication of scorpion envenomation.
False
True
This statement is false. While scorpion envenomation can cause severe symptoms, anaphylaxis is not a common complication. Scorpion stings typically cause localized pain, swelling, and in severe cases, neurotoxic effects such as muscle twitching, difficulty breathing, and cardiovascular problems. Anaphylaxis is more commonly associated with insect stings from bees, wasps, and fire ants. It's important for emergency nurses to recognize the difference between anaphylaxis and the neurotoxic effects of scorpion venom to provide appropriate treatment. Management of scorpion envenomation usually focuses on pain control, supportive care, and in severe cases, administration of antivenom.
