Course Objectives

This course implies the concepts and experiments related to applying

physics in nursing. The theoretical study focuses on the special

practical practices relevant to the mechanics and the characteristics of

substances and all the physical measurement methods. The course

also studies kinematics, sound, light and electromagnetic and their

application. The course also provides an introductory study on the

basis of radiation and radiotherapy.

Upon successful Completion of this course, students will be able to :

1. Realize the importance of precision in using physicalmeasurements methods and

their practical applications.

2. Analyze the special characteristics of physical concepts and their

application in the field of physics.

3. Classify electricity types according to their usage and identification

of the probable hazards.

4. considerate the application of physics principles to provide safe

healthy care.

5. Acquire the necessary technical skills to operate the eq
