Pressures in Biophysics and Their Applications in Nursing Understanding different types of pressure is essential in nursing as they influence physiological processes, clinical procedures, and patient care. Atmospheric pressure, hydrostatic pressure, and osmotic pressure are critical concepts rooted in biophysics, providing insights into body functions, medical interventions, and healthcare equipment.1. Atmospheric PressureDefinition: The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on the Earth’s surface, typically measured as 760 mmHg at sea level. Biophysical Principles: Atmospheric
