C150 General, Organic, and Biochemistry for Nurses

3 credit(s)

This is a course covering general and biological chemistry designed primarily for students enrolled in the school of nursing. The course covers aspects of general chemistry including atomic structure and bonding and equilibria. A brief introduction to organic chemistry including physical properties and representative reactions of common functional groups and finally the chemistry of the major classes’ biomolecules and metabolism. 

Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:

 

  1. Relate the chemical properties of a substance to its structure, shape, interactions, bonding, solubility, and thermodynamic qualities.

  2. Solve multistep contextual problems involving chemical solutions, reactions, concentrations, equilibrium, buffers, and conductivity.

  3. Evaluate the chemical structure of organic compounds for functional groups, isomerism, reactivity, protein synthesis, biochemical interactions, and metabolic processes.
