Answer: Fibrous pericardium and Serous Pericardium

Explanation:

The pericardium can be defined as the fibroserous sac( double layered) which covers the whole heart. The gap between two layers of serous pericardium is filled with serous fluid. This fluid protects the heart from external shocks.

Fibrous pericardium

This layer is the most superficial layer which consists of dense connective tissue. This layer of the heart protects it from over filling of blood, anchors the heart to the surrounding wall.

Serous pericardium

The nurse is analyzing the arterial blood gas (agb) results of a client diagnosed with severe pneumonia. what abg results are mo

Leona [35]

ABG results that are most consistent with this diagnosis are:

- pH of the patient : 7.20

- Pa $CO_{2}$ of patient is low : 65 mm Hg

- $HCO_{3}$ of patient : 26 mEq/L

An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, which draws blood from an artery in your body, determines the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood.
The pH balance, sometimes referred to as the acid-base balance, of your blood is also examined during the test.

The National Institute of Health lists the following as typical normal values: pH: 7.35-7.45.
Oxygen partial pressure (Pa $O_{2}$ ) ranges from 75 to 100 mmHg. Carbon dioxide (Pa $CO_{2}$ ) partial pressure ranges from 35 to 45 mmHg.
