Answer:

Transport the patient by ambulance, monitor closely and administer fluids en route.

Explanation:

The rate of a normal resting heartbeat is 60 to 100 per minute. The atria (the two smaller chambers of the heart) contract simultaneously and so does the ventricles (the two largest chambers). This mechanism causes the “double beat” characteristic of the heart: tummy, tummy… Exercise, emotional stress and even stimulating drugs can increase the heart rate to 200 or more beats and cause the heart to beat too fast. When this happens we call it tachycardia.

In the case of the man shown in the question, tachycardia occurs because of the ingestion of caffeinated soda. Although tachycardia is normal for those who use this type of substance, if the heart beats too fast it can lead to congestive heart failure and even myocardial infarction. For this reason, the ideal thing to do for this man is to transport him in an ambulance, closely monitor him and administer fluids on the way, as fluids can adjust the heart rate.

Explanation: Palliative care seeks to help people with serious illnesses feel better. Someone who is going through a cancer process can improve not only emotionally but also physically. The latter has been demonstrated through various scientific investigations where people who have a better state of mind tend to last more years of life and be stronger.

In the case of this study, a person with lung cancer who receives good care will be less likely to develop depression since they will not be alone and will feel support from others. It feels understood and when manifesting these symptoms of well-being, its body assimilates it as something positive and delays some manifestations of the disease.
