Nutrition and Biochemistry for Nurses

Nutrition and Biochemistry for Nurses, 2nd Edition presents Biochemistry and Nutrition together in a single volume, exactly as envisaged by the Indian Nursing Council for the BSc(N) course, where university examinations set only one combined question paper for both subjects. Spanning 40 chapters across 522 pages, the second edition retains the full chapter set of the first edition after thorough revision and updating. The chapters move from a biochemical perspective to medicine and cell structure/function through the chemistry of carbohydrates and lipids, and continue across the full biochemistry and nutrition syllabus prescribed for nursing students. Portions of the nutrition syllabus have been deliberately relocated into the biochemistry section in this edition to make the overall presentation more logical, systematic and student-friendly. Every chapter closes with a self-check MCQ set, and the question bank behind those MCQs has been thoroughly overhauled for this edition - outdated questions from previous syllabi removed, and the latest examination question papers incorporated - so revision stays aligned with what students are actually being tested on. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Students: a single-volume text mapped to the combined biochemistry-and-nutrition question paper set by the Indian Nursing Council. GNM Students: a structured, exam-oriented reference for the foundational biochemistry and nutrition portions of the nursing curriculum. Post Basic BSc Nursing Students: a consolidated refresher covering both subjects without needing two separate textbooks. Nursing Tutors and Educators: an updated, syllabus-aligned teaching text with a ready-made MCQ bank for classroom assessment. Why This Book Helps: Matches how the exam is actually structured: combines biochemistry and nutrition in one book because the INC sets one combined paper for both. Keeps content current: the question bank has been overhauled with the latest question papers, replacing outdated questions from earlier syllabi. Builds self-assessment into every chapter: end-of-chapter MCQs let students check their own assimilation as they study, rather than only at exam time. Improves logical flow: nutrition topics have been repositioned into the biochemistry section for a more systematic, easier-to-follow presentation. Key Features: 40 chapters spanning both Biochemistry and Nutrition in a single combined volume. End-of-chapter MCQs with answer keys for self-assessment after every topic. Thoroughly overhauled question bank incorporating the latest university question papers. Written by Wing Commander (Retd) Jacob Anthikad, a former Chief Instructor at the Medical Training Centre, Indian Air Force, with advanced training in biochemistry and nutrition. Structured specifically around the Indian Nursing Council's combined biochemistry-nutrition examination format.
