In the urinalysis, one of the experiments conducted was observing the physical characteristics of the urine sample. The physical characteristics included the color, transparency, odor, and pH level. Observing and determining the color, transparency, odor, and pH of urine can tell the person’s diet and possibly if there might be a bodily issue going on (Gutierrez, 2014). For the first physical…
