A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to physics and its applications to nursing

The introduction to physics for nursing students covers the basic principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and waves that underlie many medical devices and physiological processes. Mastering these concepts helps nurses explain how equipment works, assess patient safety, and apply physical laws to clinical practice.
