This document provides an overview of diarrhea including its definition, incidence, types, causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, nursing management, and complications. It notes that diarrhea is a leading cause of death in children under five in Nepal. The document discusses acute vs chronic diarrhea and predisposing factors. Signs of dehydration and its classification and management according to WHO plans A, B, and C are outlined. Nursing interventions for diarrhea and associated dehydration are also summarized.
Diarrhoeal disease is a major cause of mortality in children under 5 years old globally. Proper management of diarrhoea involves oral rehydration therapy, zinc supplementation, and continued feeding. For severe dehydration, intravenous rehydration is required followed by a transition to oral rehydration. Zinc supplementation for 14 days is recommended to reduce diarrhoea duration and future episodes. Continued feeding is important to prevent malnutrition from worsening diarrhoea outcomes.
Dehydration is the loss of water and salts essential for normal body function. An infant with mild dehydration may be thirsty with decreased urine output, while one with severe dehydration over 10% body weight loss would be gravely ill and at risk of shock. Treatment involves oral rehydration with breastmilk and oral rehydration solution or intravenous fluids for severe cases. Home treatment focuses on extra fluids, continued feeding, and oral zinc supplements to prevent dehydration complications.
This document summarizes dehydration in children. It defines dehydration as a loss of fluid from the extracellular space at a rate exceeding intake. Children are more susceptible to dehydration due to their higher body water content and metabolic rates. Common causes of dehydration in children include viral and bacterial infections causing vomiting and diarrhea. Signs of dehydration include sunken eyes, decreased urination, and irritability. Treatment depends on the severity of dehydration and includes oral rehydration for mild to moderate cases and intravenous fluids for severe cases. Care must be taken with hyponatremic and hypernatremic dehydration to slowly correct electrolyte imbalances.
This document provides guidance on assessing and managing acute diarrhea in children. It describes how to take a thorough patient history and conduct a physical exam to evaluate dehydration. Three treatment plans are outlined for: no dehydration (plan A involving oral rehydration), some dehydration (plan B with oral and intravenous rehydration), and severe dehydration (plan C requiring intravenous therapy). The document provides details on oral rehydration solution composition and administration guidelines for rehydration based on a patient's age, weight, and degree of dehydration.

Diarrhoea is passage of three or more loose stools or watery stools in a 24-hour period.
The main cause of death from acute diarrhoea is dehydration, which results from the loss of fluid and electrolytes in diarrhoeal stools.
This document discusses the control of diarrhoeal diseases. It begins by defining diarrhoea and describing the types of diarrhoeal diseases such as acute watery diarrhoea, acute bloody diarrhoea, and persistent diarrhoea. It then discusses the magnitude of diarrhoeal diseases globally and in India, describing that diarrhoea is the second leading cause of death in children under 5 years old worldwide. The document outlines the three essential elements in managing diarrhoea - rehydration therapy, zinc supplementation, and continued feeding. It provides details on assessing and treating dehydration, including treatment plans for severe and some dehydration.
The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) provides guidelines for healthcare workers to assess, classify, and treat major childhood illnesses. For children ages 2 months to 5 years, the guidelines involve checking for general danger signs, assessing main symptoms like cough, diarrhea, fever, and ear problems, and checking nutrition and immunization status. Children with diarrhea are classified as having severe dehydration, some dehydration, or no dehydration based on clinical signs. Treatment plans (A, B, or C) are then chosen based on the classification to provide oral rehydration and continued feeding and care. The guidelines aim to standardize treatment for common illnesses in an integrated manner.
This document discusses the treatment of diarrhea in children. It recommends rehydration therapy using oral rehydration solution or intravenous fluids depending on the severity of dehydration. It also stresses the importance of continued feeding and addressing any nutritional deficits during and after diarrhea. Antimicrobial therapy is only recommended for specific cases like dysentery or persistent diarrhea with an identified pathogen. Zinc and probiotic supplements can help reduce the duration and severity of acute diarrhea episodes.
The document provides guidelines for managing childhood diarrhoea, including assessing for dehydration and danger signs, treating mild to severe dehydration with oral rehydration solution or intravenous fluids, and counseling caregivers on continuing feeding and fluids and signs requiring return to care. Diarrhoea is defined and types, causes, and complications are described. Treatment plans A, B, and C are outlined for treating diarrhoea at home or in facilities.
Basics in Dehydration & it's management in paediatric practice. Prepared by Dr. Viduranga Edirisinghe on request by Prof. Wasantha Karunasekara. [2013 Aug]
Diarrhea is characterized by loose or watery stool more than 3 times per day. It is a major cause of death in developing countries and infants worldwide. Diarrhea can be acute lasting 1-2 weeks, chronic lasting more than 3 weeks, or persistent lasting 2 weeks or more. Causes include viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi transmitted through the fecal-oral route. Management involves oral rehydration therapy with continued feeding. For severe dehydration intravenous fluids are given along with monitoring until rehydration is complete. Diet emphasizes continued breastfeeding and eating small, frequent meals high in nutrients.
Acute diarrhoeal diseases are a major cause of death in children under 5 years old, especially in developing countries. Rotavirus is the most common cause. Clinical presentation includes watery stools and signs of dehydration like sunken eyes and dry mouth. Management involves oral rehydration with solutions like ORS. Prevention strategies target improving sanitation, health education, immunization, and fly control to reduce transmission. Community-level prevention programs promote access to clean water and proper hygiene and disposal of feces.
Diarrheal diseases are common in children, especially in developing countries. There are three main types: acute, persistent, and dysentery. Acute diarrhea lasts less than 14 days while persistent lasts 14 days or longer. Dysentery involves bloody stools. Risk factors include suboptimal breastfeeding, contaminated water/food, and malnutrition. Treatment involves oral rehydration for mild cases and IV fluids for severe dehydration. Antibiotics are given for dysentery. Feeding should continue and mothers advised on follow up care.
1. Diarrhoea is defined as loose or watery stools occurring more than 3 times per day. It can be caused by various bacterial, viral and parasitic infections. Persistent diarrhoea lasts more than 14 days.
2. Major consequences of diarrhoea are malnutrition and dehydration. Management involves oral rehydration, continued feeding, zinc supplementation, and treating any underlying infection or complications.
3. Persistent diarrhoea results from acute diarrhoea lasting too long, often due to underlying malnutrition impairing gut healing. It requires careful rehydration, nutritional rehabilitation, and treating any infections to break the cycle of diarrhoea and malnutrition.
Diarrhoea is defined as having three or more loose or liquid stools per day. Worldwide, approximately 2.5 billion cases of diarrhea occur each year resulting in 1.5 million child deaths. Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhoea in children under 5. Diarrhoea can be acute lasting less than 14 days or chronic lasting more than 14 days. Management involves oral rehydration therapy with increased fluids for mild cases or IV fluids for severe cases. Education of mothers on prevention through hygiene and sanitation is important to reduce incidence of diarrhoea.
This document provides guidance on diagnosing and treating diarrhoea in infants and young children. It defines diarrhoea and outlines signs of dehydration. Dehydration is classified as none, some or severe based on symptoms like restlessness, sunken eyes and skin pinch test. Treatment plans involving oral rehydration solution and continued feeding are provided according to dehydration level. Persistent and bloody diarrhoea require additional treatment and follow up. The guidelines aim to safely treat diarrhoea at home or refer urgently when needed.

diarrhea & Its Manatuotiyfjyryurygement.pptNidhiJha93
Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of childhood mortality globally. Dehydration from diarrhea can cause death if not treated properly. There are different types and severities of diarrhea. Treatment involves oral rehydration with oral rehydration solution or other home available fluids. For mild dehydration, continued feeding and oral rehydration is recommended. Moderate dehydration is treated with increased oral fluids at a health facility. Severe dehydration requires intravenous or nasogastric rehydration in a health facility. Zinc supplementation for 14 days is also recommended to reduce diarrhea duration and severity. Antimicrobial treatment is given for specific infections like cholera.
1) Diarrhea is defined as loose or watery stools at least 3 times in 24 hours by WHO. It can be caused by various bacterial, viral, and protozoal infections transmitted through the fecal-oral route.
2) Diarrhea is classified based on clinical syndrome and etiology. It can lead to dehydration, functional bowel disorders, and intestinal diseases in both adults and children.
3) Treatment involves oral rehydration with WHO plans A, B or C depending on severity of dehydration, continued feeding, and use of zinc and probiotics as adjuncts in some cases.
This document discusses diarrhea, including its definition, causes, clinical features, management, and prevention. Some key points:
- Diarrhea is defined as passing loose or watery stools at least 3 times in 24 hours. It can be acute (lasting 3-7 days) or chronic (lasting over 3 weeks).
- Causes include intestinal infections from bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other underlying diseases. Risk factors are lack of breastfeeding, poor hygiene, and malnutrition.
- Management involves oral rehydration therapy with ORS and zinc supplements. For severe dehydration IV fluids are given. Diet should continue and antibiotics may be used.
- Prevention strategies are safe water/
This document discusses acute watery diarrhea, its causes, assessment, and management. It defines acute watery diarrhea and notes that viruses are the most common cause.

2. THERAPEUTIC DIET :
Therapeutic diet is the suggested for children with
different diseases.
Nephrotic syndrome:
Nephrotic syndrome is a condition that causes the kidneys
to leak large amounts of protein into the urine
Nephrotic syndrome:
the recommended dietary intake and sample diet for
nephrotic syndrome.

daily protein intake of up to
2g/kg/day
1pm Rice 100g
4. Protein energy Malnutrition :
children with protein –energy malnutrition intake rates
should approach 175kcal/kg of energy and 4g/kg of protein.
A daily multivitamin should also added.
Children should consume foods containing proteins such as
meet, fish, poultry, eggs soyabeans, and legumes. Milk and
milk products are also rich in protein.
5. However, children suffering from kwashiorkor may be lactose
–intolerant and may need lactase enzyme supplements to
digest milk, yogurt, and cheese.

7. DEHYDRATION ASSESSMENT:
Dehydration:
Dehydration is a common body fluid disturbance in the
children and occurs whenever the total output of fluid exceeds
the total intake, regardless of the same.
Types
clinical assessment of dehydration is always approximate and
the child should be frequently re evaluation for continuing
improvement during correction of dehydration.
8. BASED ON WHO CLASSIFICATION:
The degree of dehydration can be roughly “no visible”
dehydration “some” dehydration, or “severe dehydration.
“No visible” Dehydration:
the child has no signs of dehydration or not enough signs to
be classified as “some dehydration”. However, many children
with “no visible dehydration” have still lost more fluid than
normal. They often are thirsty an d pass little urine.
9. “SOME “ DEHYDRATION:
child will have two or more of the following signs:
very thirsty and drinks eagerly
restless and irritable
sunken eyes
Moderate degree of decreased skin turgor. when pinched, the
skin takes longer than usual but less than 2 seconds to return
to normal.
10.
11. “Severe” Dehydration:
child will have two or more of the following signs :
Not able to drink very poorly
Lethargic or unconscious
Eyes very sunken
severe decrease in skin turgor. When pinched, the skin takes
2 seconds or more to return to normal
shock with delayed capillary filling time.
12. Assessment Criteria NO Dehydration
(No signs of Dehydration)
Some Dehydration
2 or more of the following signs
present)
Severe Dehydration (2 or more
of the following signs present)
Observe
General condition Well alert Restless and irritable Lethargic or unconscious
Thirst Drinks normally, not thirsty Very thirsty and drinks eagerly Eyes very sunken
Eyes Normal Sunken eyes Eyes very sunken
Feel
Skin pinch (turgor) Goes back quickly Moderate degree of decreased skin
turgor. when pinched. The skin takes
longer than usual, but less than 2
seconds ,to return to normal
Severe decrease in skin turgor,
when pinched the skin takes 2
seconds or more to return to
normal shock with delayed
capillary filling time.
Decide No dehydration (if
The child exhibits two or
more of the above mentioned
signs)
Some dehydration (if the child
exhibits two or more of the above
mentioned signs)
Severe dehydration (if the
child exhibits two or more of
the above mentioned signs)
Treat Plan A Plan B Plan C
13. Preparation and administration of oral rehydration solution
oral rehydration therapy : is a type of fluid replacement used to
prevent and treat dehydration, especially due to diarrhea and
vomiting. It involves administration of fluids with modest
amounts of sugar and salts either orally or via nasogastric
feeding.
Oral rehydration solution: is a liquid preparation developed by
the WHO that contains 3.5g sodium chloride, 2.9 g potassium
chloride, and 1.5 glucose dissolved in each liter of drinking
water which can replace the fluid loss that had actually occurred
in the individuals.
14. S.No Nursing Action Rationale
1 Gather all necessary equipment near the child’s
bedside.
Minimizes procedure time
2 Perform hand hygiene Prevent cross infection
3 Assess the degree of dehydration of child by
using WHO scale
4 Decide if the child exhibits two or more signs
as mentioned in the scale, classify the severity
of dehydration as no dehydration /some
dehydration /severe dehydration
Classifying dehydration helps in planning further
management accordingly
5 Treat based on the severity of dehydration treat
the child
No dehydration : plan A – Child can be treated
safely at home instruct the mother to give home
based fluids such as rice water, soup, water and
oral rehydration salt (ORS).Breastfed babies
should be given breast milk and ORS. Given as
much as child wants of al the fluids
15. Age (years ) ORS BASIC AMOUNT (mL) ORS after each loose stool passed (mL)
<2 500 or more 50 100
2-10 1000or more 100-200
>10 2000 or more 100-200
Instruct the mother to the health
facility if the child gets worse passes
more watery stools, vomits,repeatedly
becomes very thirsty, eats or drinks
poorly, or is not better in 2 days
Keeps the child rehydrated and aids in appropriate home
management thereby reducing risk of complication and
hospitalization .
16. SOME DEHYDRATION: Plan –B child to be treated in the
health facility. Give ORS over the first 4 hours as shown in
the following table
Ensure early identification for the need of
hospitalization and prompt treatment to prevent
worsening of the condition.
Weight <6kg 6 to <10 kg 10 to <12kg 12-19 kg
Age* up to 4
months
4-12 month 12 months to 2 years 2-5 years
Amount of
ORS (mL)
200-400 400-700 700-900 900-1400
Use the child’s age only when you do not the weight. The approximate amount of ORS required (mL) can also be
calculated by multiplying the child’s weight (kg) by 75
If the child vomits , wait 10 minutes and start again. Continue with other fluids that the child will accept. Instruct
mother to continue breastfeeding if child is breastfed. Observe stools passed and record quantity.
Reassess the state of dehydration after 4 hours .if clinical state has improved with no dehydration, go to plan A. if there are still
signs of some dehydration, repeat plan B. If condition is worsening ,go to plan c
17. s
Severe dehydration plan C –treat severe dehydration quickly. Start IV fluids immediately. Give 100mL/Kg
Ringer’s lactase solution or if not available, normal saline or cholera
Age First Give 30mL/kg in Then 70 mL /kg in
Infants(< 12 months ) 1 hour* 5 hours
Children (2-5) 30 minutes 2.5 hours
Repeat once if radial pulse is still very wear or not detectable
Reassess the child every 1-2 hours. If hydration status is not improving give the IV fluid more rapidly than as
as stated in the table above
Reassess an infant after 6 hours and a child after 3 hours. Classify dehydration. Then choose the appropriate plan (A ,B ,or C)
to continue treatment.
Do not stop the IV fluids until the child has been observed to retain the ORS for at least 1 hour and there is improvement in
the clinical condition.
Continue ORS on treatment plan B and continue to observe child until child has no signs of dehydration, and then move to
plan A
18. Purpose:
1. To correct dehydration
2.To reduce severe complication of diarrheal disease regardless of
causative agent.
Indications:
1. To treat most forms of dehydration and hypovolemia
2. Diarrhea
3. Considerable amount of insensible water loss through excessive
body temperature and sweating.
4. Inadequate fluid intake or refusal to drink fluid
5.Mild blood loss
19. Contraindication:
1.protracted vomiting despite, small frequent feedings.
2.Worsening diarrhea and an inability to keep up with losses
3.stupor or coma
4. Over 9% dehydrated
5. signs of shock
Recommended amount of fluid to be administered:
Infant: one liter over a 24 hour period
Children : one liter over an 8 to 24 hour period according to age
21. PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT:
Articles(A clean tray containing) Purpose
ORS sachets To prepare the solution
One liter of boiled cooled water Boiled water prevents the transmission of microorganisms
Ounce glass Measures accurate amount of fluid to be administered
Cup with lid To store the prepared solution
Medicine cup /dropper/ paladai/spoon Allows appropriate selection of feeding methods
Mackintosh and towel Prevent spoiling of dress and linen
Kidney tray Collects waste and vomitus of the child
Scissors To cut open the sachet easily
22. Preparation of child and parents:
* Explain the need and procedure to the child and parents.
* Instruct the parents to follow the steps of preparation
which helps in home management.
