Answer: Birds pick up oil on their beaks, by rubbing against the uropygial or preen gland near the tail, and then rub it over their feathers. This makes the water unable to break through the oil.

Explanation: Hope this helps have a great day :)

Answer:

Feathers repel water because birds pick up oil on their beaks and when they fluff their feathers later the oil is transferred onto the feathers. As water cannot penetrate through the oil coating, the feather is waterprof.

Please help me...Why is it important for a health care provider to maintain accurate patient records?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

An accurate written record detailing all aspects of patient monitoring is important, not only because it forms an integral part of the of the provision of care or nursing management of the patient, but because it also contributes to the circulation of information amongst the different teams involved in the patient’s treatment or care.

In a legal sense, documentation and record keeping is also there for the protection of the nurse or healthcare professional.

A well-kept record can protect the practitioner in instances where the legal defence of their actions is required. Documentation also ensures a matter of professionalisation and proof of the improvement of practices.
