BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOPHYSICS
Paper Code: 04110102
Placement: First Year
TIME ALLOTTED:
Theory: 04 credits
Preamble
Biochemistry and Biophysics is a growing enterprise worldwide, driven primarily by the
widespread realization of the major contribution that can be made to biological science by a
combination of truly state-of-the-art physical measurements with modern molecular biology. The
field occupies a unique and central position at the intersection of the biological, chemical,
physical, and medical sciences. It is a modest attempt to present the basic principles and
practices of biochemistry and biophysics in simple, lucid and illustrative manner by
incorporating their applications to healthcare and nursing practices. The content of textbook is
divided into two sections; Section-A Biochemistry and Section-B Biophysics. Section-A
includes basics of biochemistry, cell, water, electrolytes, enzymes, digestions and absorption of
food. Furthermore, biochemical aspects and metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat has
been presented. Section-B includes basic physical principles and healthcare/nursing applications
of biophysics like motions, gravity, force, energy, work, heat, light, pressure, sound, electricity,
electromagnetism, atomic energy and electronics. The content of biophysics has been presented
using non-mathematical approach by incorporating adequate examples from healthcare and
nursing sciences. In addition, it has been ensured that each physical principle is simply defined
and discussed with its application to nursing practices.
Goals
The goals for programme endeavors to provide students a broad based training in biochemistry
with a solid background of basic concepts as well as exposing them to the exciting advancements
in the field. In addition to theoretical knowledge, significant emphasis has been given to provide
hands on experience to the students in the forefront areas of experimental biochemistry.
Objectives
At the end of the class the students can be able to :
1. Identify the basic principles of bio-chemistry and biophysics.
2. Synthesize the knowledge of these principles in various nursing situation.
Duration
One year program (theory as well as practical)
Eligibility
Applicants must:
1. hold a nursing degree or equivalent qualification.
2. be registered nurses.
3. have a minimum of 1 year post-registration experience
4. hold a diploma in General Nursing & midwifery(GNM)

Intake Capacity 30 seats per year
Career oppurtunities:- Biophysics utilizes physics to study biological processes. The field
encompasses the study of molecular and cell biology, atomic and molecular physics, organic
and physical chemistry, and the curriculum may include courses in calculus, differential
equations, computer programming and genetics.
Fee structure:- Rs 160000/- per year. The examination fees will be decided by the university.
TEACHING STRATEGIES:-
Method of Teaching
• Lecture-cum-discussion • Seminar/Presentations • Project • Lab demonstration • Experiments and tests. Methods of Evaluation

PSYCHOLOGY
Paper Code: 04110104
Time allotted: Theory: 04 credits
PREAMBLE
This course is designed to reorient and widen the student's knowledge of
fundamentals of psychology. The student is offered an opportunity to
apply the theoretical concepts in the clinical setting and thereby understand
the psychodynamics of patient behaviour. This course would also help the
student to develop an insight into her own behavior.
GOALS
i. Apply psychological principles while performing nursing
duties.
ii. Distinguish the psychological processes during health and sickness.
iii. Analyze own behavior patterns.
iv. Tabulate the psychological needs of the patients for planning nursing care.
v. Participate in psychometric assessment of the client
