Answer:
Adhesion and surface tension
Explanation:
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.
Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.
Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.
Answer:
B. Molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
Explanation:
Diffusion is the spread of something more widely.
The nurse should obtain the specimen from the catheter.
One of the tests from urinalysis that frequently got contaminated is about infection. The area near the orificium of uretra is near the skin, so there will be microbes around it that can contaminate the sample. The contaminated sample will give a false positive and the result will show the urine are infected.
Taking the specimen from catheter will prevent that contamination, thus giving a better sample.
