Hint: In nursing, physics plays a very important role.
The knowledge of pressure (blood pressure in veins), viscosity, surface tension (capillary action), fluids in motion (blood circulation), diffusion (internal energy), vision (optics), sound (hearing) and many more physical phenomena is necessary in nursing..
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary scientific discipline which uses physical techniques and methods to study the functions, structures and energetics of biological objects.
The purpose of the present study was to find out how an area of biophysics is declared in the education of future nurses..

Biophysics in Nursing PE = wh where, w = weight h = height Example:
Biophysics is a growing enterprise worldwide, driven primarily by the widespread realization of the major contribution that can be made to biological science by a combination of truly state-of-the-art physical measurements with modern molecular biology.
Most of the human biological functions or health care practices have basis of principles of biophysics.
Therefore, nurses involved in providing nursing care must understand the physical principles and their applications in health care practices.
