A pressure area is a sore or ulcer that develops on skin and tissues with underlying bone that occurs as a result of pressure being placed on the area. A common example of a pressure area is bedsores. Cleanliness is the utmost concern with care of pressure areas, as they can be prone to infection. Another concern with a patient who has developed pressure areas is prevention.
It is important to follow an agreed plan of care when caring for a patient. They may be in a position where they are unable to protest to a treatment that has been agreed on when they were in their right frame of mind.

Surface area concerns a 3-dimensional figure such as a cube or sphere. Area concerns a 2-dimensional figure such as a square or circle.
pressure is force divided by area
By the stains in the area of the leak. If the vehicle had been leaking prior to service, then there will be dirty stains around the area. I there were no leaks prior to service then there will only be fresh fluid in the area.
Force, pressure, and area are related through the equation pressure = force / area. This means that pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area. Increasing force applied on a given area will increase the pressure, while increasing the area over which the force is applied will decrease the pressure.
pressure = force/area force = pressure x area area = force/pressure
Pressure = force/area This means that the larger the force, the larger the pressure. But the smaller the area, the larger the pressure.
Force (lbs) = Pressure (psi) x Area (in2)Pressure=Force/Area
Pressure is the force measured over an area
To calculate the area from force and pressure, you can use the formula: Area = Force / Pressure. Simply divide the force applied by the pressure exerted on a surface to determine the area of contact. This calculation assumes a uniform distribution of force over the entire area.
