     This book is written expressly (清楚地) for students in an attempt to present the material that is most
useful and interesting to them. Previous courses in chemistry are not necessary for the understanding of the
material, although those students who have had high school chemistry will find that a review of the inorganic
section will better enable them to master the organic and biochemistry sections that follow.
     The author has felt that in the past there was an improper selection of material from inorganic, organic,
and biochemistry in the majority of the textbooks of chemistry for nurses. The tendency has been to develop
the inorganic chemistry to such an extent that organic and biochemistry are covered too briefly. The recent
advances in biochemistry and their widespread application to the practice of medicine and nursing have
considerably altered the situation. Not only is biochemistry more closely allied to the practical chemistry of
medicine and nursing, but also it is of more interest to the students. In the author"s experience the response
to biochemistry has always been more favorable than to other sections. Within the brief period allotted to
 chemistry, therefore, the sections on inorganic, organic, and biochemistry should be so arranged that a good
share of the time is spent on the study of biochemistry. This book presents mainly those fundamentals of
inorganic and organic chemistry that are necessary for the understanding of the section on biochemistry.
    The fundamental points suggested in the Curriculum Guide are included in the book, with some additions
in the biochemistry section. The author feels that a study of urine, vitamins, nutrition, and hormones is so
obviously a part of biochemistry that at least the fundamentals should be included in this course.
     The book has been planned in such a way that it may be adapted to various courses in chemistry. The
material suggested by Curriculum Guide is covered in the first nineteen chapters and may be used in
accelerated courses or where minimum time is allotted to chemistry. When the time allotted to the course is
sixty to ninety hours, the entire contents of the book may be used to advantage. While the book has been
written especially to fit the needs of schools of nursing, it could readily be applied in instances where students
are required to take but one course in chemistry. The apathetic (无动于衷的) attitude of nonprofessional
students toward a course in inorganic chemistry may well be overcome by the proper presentation of material
selected from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry.
