BHT 106 Question Paper December 2025 is the sharpest practice set for students learning the clinical assessment and care of older persons. If your exam falls in 2026, this is the one to rehearse on, covering delirium, urinary incontinence, falls prevention indoors, elder abuse and caregiver burnout. Let's break it down.
What is the BHT-106 December 2025 Question Paper?
The BHT 106 December 2025 question paper is the official IGNOU Term-End Examination for Assessment and Support for Older Persons, English medium, 70 marks, 3 hours, where you attempt any ten of twelve questions in the CGHC programme.
In practice it is a single, unsectioned set of twelve descriptive questions. You pick your strongest ten, each carrying equal marks, and answer each in roughly 300 to 500 words. The focus is clinical and care-based, moving from ageing physiology to conditions like delirium and on to prevention, safety and caregiver wellbeing.
Inside the BHT-106 Older Persons Syllabus
BHT-106 builds the clinical judgement needed to assess and support an older person. It opens with the wider frame, the national policies and programmes for elderly care in India, then turns to the physiological changes in ageing body systems, including the brain and nervous system and the digestive system, and their clinical implications.
It then works through the conditions a geriatric health worker meets. You study strategies for promoting healthy ageing, delirium in older people, the types and management of urinary incontinence, and the clinical presentation of heart attack and heart failure alongside the healthcare worker's role.
Prevention and psychosocial care complete the picture. You learn the levels of disease prevention and vaccination, the risk factors for healthcare-associated infections, the categories of waste, the steps to prevent falls indoors, the signs of elder abuse, and the reality of caregiver burden and burnout.

Writing 300 to 500 Word Answers That Score in 2026
Rehearse this December 2025 IGNOU paper against a real three-hour clock and choose your strongest ten of the twelve before you start writing. With roughly 300 to 500 words an answer, ten answers in three hours leaves little slack, so a quick plan beside each question pays off.
Build each clinical geriatric answer to a fixed shape: a clear definition, the clinical features or causes, the assessment, and the management or prevention. Take delirium in older people as an example. Open by defining it as an acute, fluctuating disturbance of attention and awareness, give the common causes like infection and medication, note how it is assessed and distinguished from dementia, then set out the management and the healthcare worker's role.
The same four or five beats fit the steps to prevent falls indoors: name the risk, list the hazards like poor lighting and loose rugs, then give the practical modifications and monitoring. Condition questions such as heart attack and heart failure reward correct clinical detail and a clear account of the healthcare worker's role, so precision earns more than length here.
