| Abstract: | Since the introduction of nursing into tertiary institutions in Australia in 1975, there has been increasing interest in the
teaching of physical science to nurses. Various courses in physical science for nurse students have been developed. They vary
in length and content but there is agreement that concepts taught should be closely related to nursing applications. The choice
of relevant concepts tends to be made by individual curriculum developers. This paper reports an examination of the use of
physical science concepts and their relevance from the perspective of registered nurses practising in general ward areas.
Inherent in this study is the premise that for registered nurses to have ideas of the physical science underlying their practice
they must have constructed meaning first for these concepts. Specific chemical concepts related to solutions are discussed
in these terms.
