PRACTICAL PHYSICS FOR NURSES (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Practical Physics for NursesThe criticism is often made that nurses are not intelligent about the handling of ordinary household and hospital appliances, and that they make no attempt to understand the workings of plumbing, heating and ventilating apparatus, surgical instruments and appa ratus, etc.The fault lies not so much in the nurse herself, nor m any lack of inclination to learn, as it does in the fact that she has not been taught the laws which govern some of the simplest activities of life. Very many nurses are not high-school graduates, and of those who are, not all have studied physics, nor know how to apply their knowledge to nursing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
