Nursing and Physics: Words not just with Definition but with Relation: An Introduction

Nursing and Physics? Are these two different words can be related with each other? Let’s see if we can find a connection…hmm…Let’s start with defining “Physics” first, well it is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity . . . just about anything, honestly. Physics deals with matter on scales ranging from sub-atomic particles (i.e. the particles that make up the atom and the particles that make up those particles) to stars and even entire galaxies. That’s what I’ve learned during my high school days, but now that I’m into a more serious field which is the field of medicine, the field of “Nursing”, therefore it also requires a more serious definition. I’ve learned that nurses save and improve lives as front line members of the health care delivery team. They independently assess and monitor patients, and taking a holistic approach, determine what patients need to attain and preserve their health. Nurses then provide care and, if needed, alert other health care professionals to assist. For instance, emergency department nurses triage all incoming patients, deciding which are the sickest and in what order they require the attention of other health care professionals. Thus, nurses coordinate care delivery by physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, physical therapists and others. Nurses assess whether care is successful. If not, they create a different plan of action.
Being a nurse is not easy right? That’s why we nurses need help, we nurses need information, we nurses need back up, we nurses need guide, we nurses need SCIENCE, we nurses need PHYSICS. According to this website: http://eduserv.ku.ac.th/organization/curriculum/data/catalog/eng/description/18_affililated.htm
The relationship between physics and nursing is very obvious, the basic concepts, principles and rules in physics regarding measurement, mass, force, movement, and energy can be use in the practice of nursing for example the principles of machine and the use of machines, in nursing these principles are used in curing. Properties of substances, pressure of fluid, heat, light, sound, magnetic, electric, and electronic nuclear physics, and biographic system, changes resulted from advance in physics, relationship of physics and other branches of knowledge, application of physics are also very useful in nursing practice. In nursing, the principles of physics are very essential because in our practice, we measure, we cure, we assess, we quantify, we gauge, we compute, we determine.
So these two different words, Nursing and Physics are not just words with definition but also words with relation.
