Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resuscitation equipment is not typically required for a patch test, as it is a non-invasive procedure with minimal risk of severe allergic reaction. Patch tests are used to identify skin allergies by applying small amounts of allergens to the skin, usually on the back, and observing the reaction over several days. The procedure is generally safe and does not necessitate resuscitation equipment to be on standby.
