    It is a process whereby people learn to improve their personal habits and attitudes, to workresponsibly for the improvement of health conditions of the family, community, and nation.

    It involves motivation, experience, and change in conduct and thinking, while stimulating activeinterest. It develops and provides experience for change in peoples attitudes, customs, and

    habits in relation to health and everyday living.

    It should be recognized as the basic function of all health workers. It takes place in the home, in the school, and in the community. It is a cooperative effort requiring all categories of health personnel to work together in close

    teamwork with families, groups, and the community.

    It meets the needs, interests, and problems of the people affected. It finds means and ways of carrying out plans by encouraging individual and community

    1. Bring pt. to hospital2. IVF Lactated Ringers Solution or Normal Saline3. Re-assess pt. Every 1-2 hrs4. Give ORS as soon as the pt. can drink

    Two problems in CDD1. High child mortality due to diarrhea2. High diarrhea incidence among under fives

    Highest incidence in age 6 23 months Highest mortality in the first 2 years of life Main causes of death in diarrhea :

    1. DEHYDRATION2. MALNUTRITION

    To prevent dehydration, give home fluids am as soon as diarrhea starts and if dehydration ispresent, rehydrate early, correctly and effectively by giving ORS

    For undernutrition, continue feeding during diarrhea especially breastfeeding.5 Interventions to prevent diarrhea

  • 7/30/2019 CHN FINAL.docx

    10/28

    1. Breastfeeding2. improved weaning practices3. use of plenty of clean water4. hand washing5. proper disposal of stools of small children

    Risk of severe diarrhea 10-30x higher in bottle fed infants than in breastfed infants.

    Advantages of breastfeeding in relation to CDD

    -Breast milk is sterile

    -Presence of antibodies protection against diarrhea

    -Intestinal Flora in BF infants prevents growth of diarrhea causing bacteria.

    Breastfeeding decreases incidence rate by 8-20% and mortality by 24-27% in infants under 6

    months of age.

    When to wean?

    4-6 months soft mashed foods 2x a day

    6 months variety of foods 4x a day

    Summary of WHO-CDD recommended strategies to prevent diarrhea

    ASSESSMENT OF RESPIRATORY INFECTION

    ASK THE MOTHER:

    1. How old is the child?2. Is the child coughing? For how long?3. Age 2 months up to 5 years: Is the child able to drink?

    Age less than 2 months: Has the young infant stopped feeding well?

    4. Has the child had fever? For how long?5. Has the child had convulsions? LOOK, LISTEN:1. Count the breaths in one minute.2. Look for chest in drawing.3. Look and listen for stridor.

    Stridor occurs when there is a narrowing of the larynx, trachea or epiglottis which

    interferes with air entering the lungs.

    4. Look and listen for wheeze Wheeze is a soft musical noise which shows signs that breathing out (exhale) is difficult.

    5. See if the child is abnormally sleepy or difficult to wake. (Suspect meningitis)6. Feel for fever or low body temperature.7. Check for severe under nutrition

    from diarrheal diseases.

    d. Reduces the infants exposure to infection.COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING FOR BABIES 6-11 MONTHS OLD

    What are Complementary Foods? foods introduced to the child at the age

    6 months to supplement breastmilk

    given progressively until the child is used to three meals and in-between feedings at theage of one year.

    Why is there a Need to Give Complementary Foods? breastmilk can be a single source of nourishment from birth up to six months of life.

    The childs demands for food increases as he grows older and breastmilk alone is not enough tomeet his increased nutritional needs for rapid growth and development

    Breastmilk should be supplemented with other foods so that the child can get additionalnutrients

    Introduction of complementary foods will accustom him to new foods that will also provideadditional nutrients to make him grow well

    Breastfeeding, however, should continue for as long as the mother is able and has milk whichcould be as long as two years

    How to Give Complementary Foods for Babies 6-11 Months Old? Prepare mixture of thick lugaw/ cooked rice, soft cooked vegetables. Egg yolk, mashed

    beans, flaked fish/chicken/ground meat and oil.

    Give mixture by teaspoons 2-4 times daily, increasing the amount of teaspoons andnumber of feeding until the full recommended amount is consumed

    Give bite-sized fruit separately Give egg alone or combine with above food mixture
