01B.Sc Nursing - 10+2 Science Foundation Applied to Health
The B.Sc Nursing (4-year) entry paper is built on the 10+2 science base: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, plus English and general awareness. Questions are usually phrased so a science fact must be applied, not merely recalled, and many items are deliberately tilted toward the human body and health. Cell and human physiology: osmosis and tonicity, membrane transport, blood composition, cardiac cycle, nephron function, nerve impulse, hormone–target organ pairs. Biology of health: nutrition and deficiency states (iron → microcytic anaemia; iodine → goitre), immunity, basics of inheritance (dominant/recessive, sex-linked traits).
