What is Matter? Anything that occupy space ,having mass Amount of matter in any substance is called mass Unit of mass is kg Mass is directly related to inertia or resistance of a body

Nursing Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life from conception to death. (From Wikipedia)
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, Alleviation(prevention) of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy(support) in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.
WHY CHEMISTRY…….. FOR NURSING? Your patient might have acidosis or alkalosis which may be metabolic or respiratory in nature or both. you also need an understanding about electrolytes ( Na, K, Ca etc ). The nurse will be hanging so many different fluids and if he/she does not know what it is for, and how it will affect the patient, the patients life will be in danger.
Conti……. A nurse should have basic knowledge of all the processes that occur at the cellular level, e.g. actions of enzymes diffusion across cell membranes oxygen transport How pH of the blood is balanced glucose metabolism what goes wrong in patients with diabetes? All these questions and many, many more all need a good understanding of the basic concepts of chemistry
Nurses must understand how particular medicines will react in different patients. This helps to avoid wrong combinations of drugs that can lead to adverse effects . Your patient is feeling giddy. If you don’t know chemistry you will not be able to treat that. Your patient is vomiting and you don’t know chemistry then you cannot treat him. Your patient have ingested a toxic chemical. If you don’t know the formula of that chemical and its anti toxin then you are not able to treat him.
Conti…………………. You need to know the language of chemistry If someone says that substance X is in mill moles, you must know what it is. You must know how to prepare 5% solution of a medicine etc.

Bohr Model Assumptions 1. Electrons bound in an atom can only occupy orbits for which the angular momentum is quantized. This results in discrete values for the radius and energy. 2. An electron in such a stationary state emits no radiation. 3. If an electron jumps to a lower state, it emits a photon whose energy equals the difference in energy between the two states. 4. The angular momentum L of atomic electrons is quantized by the rule L = n h/2p. Copied from: http://www.phy.davidson.edu/FacHome/dmb/py220/bohr_model_assumptions.htm Date: October 7, 2015
