is there anyway to avoid dependency array in react hook?

Question

I have a functional component lets say Offers.This component on load calls an api say api_1. once the response of api_1 is received and is success I want to trigger another api call say api_2 and based on the response of api_2 want to show success screen else error screen. Also, in case api_1 fails i want to show error screen

const Offers =()=>{

const[api_1Success,setApi_1Success]=useState(null);
const[api_1Failure,setApi_1Failure]=useState(null);
const[api_1FetchComplete,setApi_1FetchComplete]=useState(null);

const[api_2Success,setApi_2Success]=useState(null);
const[api_2Failure,setApi_2Failure]=useState(null);
const[api_2FetchComplete,setApi_2FetchComplete]=useState(null);

const showSuccess =useCallback(() =>{
//sets some other state to render success page
},[api_2Success]);

const showError =useCallback(() =>{
//sets some other state to render error page
},[]);

const changeScreen = useCallback(() => {
  if(api_2Success){
    showSuccess();
  } else {
    showErrorScreen();
  }

},[api_2Success,showSuccess,showErrorScreen]);

useEffect(()=>{  /** first useEffect **/
//dummy api call
dummyApiCall().then((response)=>{
setApi_1Success(response);
}).catch(ex=>(setApi_1Failure(ex))).finally(()=>(setApi_1FetchComplete(true)));
},[])

useEffect(()=>{   /** second useEffect **/
if(api_1FetchComplete){
  if(api_1Success){
    //dummy api call
    dummyApiCall().then((response)=>{
    setApi_2Success(response);
  }).catch(ex=>(setApi_2Failure(ex))).finally(()=>(setApi_2FetchComplete(true)));
 }
}
if(api_1Failure){
changeScreen();
}
},[
api_1FetchComplete,
api_1Failure,
api_1Success,
changeScreen,
])

useEffect(()=>{ /** third useEffect **/
if(api_2FetchComplete){
  changeScreen();
}

},[api_2FetchComplete,changeScreen]);

return(....);
}

Now whenever response of api_2 is available 3rd useeffect runs as a result the changeScreen method changes as it is dependent on api_2success.Now since changeScreen has changed 2nd useEffect gets called and the loop continues.

Is there any why i can avoid adding changeScreen in the dependency Array

Creating an async/await function could help to create and understand the asynchronous flow better:

  useEffect(() => {
    const getResponses = async () => {
      try {
        const response = await dummyApiCall();
        setApi_1Success(response);

        const response2 = await dummyApiCall();
        setApi_2Success(response2);
      } catch (error) {
        changeScreen();
      }
    };

    getResponses();
  }, []);
