Answer 1

The answer is use of a hypothermic Blanket.

Thyroid crisis is a potentially fatal acute episode of thyroid over activity characterized by high fever, severe tachycardia, delirium, dehydration, and extreme irritability. Because thyroid storm is an emergency, it requires immediate interventions for control. The high fever is treated with hypothermic blankets, and dehydration is reversed with intravenous fluids

Answer 2

Critical Care

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient shown above is in serious trouble and urgently needs intensive care. The patient has signs of sepsis, which is a widespread infection that is affecting various organs. Blood pressure is very low, which indicates that the treatment being given to the patient is having no effect. In addition, we can see through urinary output that this patient has kidney failure. It is important that this patient undergo intensive care before his body goes into septic shock.
