Subject-Specific FAQs

• Q: Are NCERT chapters mandatory for BNS-107?: Yes. Blocks 1–3 heavily rely on NCERT Class 10–12 (Health and Diseases, Biology). Focus on chapters like Life Processes (respiratory/gastrointestinal systems) and Reproduction (newborn care).
• Q: How to score in case studies?: Prioritize SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) for medical/surgical cases. Example: A child with cystic fibrosis requires chest physiotherapy and high-calorie diet—mention both in your answer.

Sample Question Patterns (Previous Years)

• Block 1: Describe the nursing care plan for a preterm infant with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
• Block 2: Compare the signs and symptoms of measles and rubella in children under 5 years.
• Block 3: List the preoperative teaching for a child undergoing tonsillectomy.

Note: Avoid rote memorization. Emphasize clinical reasoning (e.g., why a child with dehydration requires IV fluids over ORS).
