Aclient is being prepared for surgery to have placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (peg) tube. the client asks why the peg tube is preferred over the existing nasogastric tube that is being used for feedings. what explanation does the nurse give for why a peg tube is preferred for administering a tube feeding?

From personal experience, a peg tube is way better for long-term use.  It's not as painful as a nose tube in the long run, and won't cause nose bleeds. Also, you won't need to worry about coughing or vomiting up the tube.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
