Question

In children with diarrhea, the main aim of ORS therapy is to:

A.

Prevent dehydration

B.

Reduce mortality

C.

To correct water and electrolyte deficit

D.

All of the above

Correct option is D


Ans. (d) Sol. The main aim of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) therapy in children with diarrhea is all of the above. ORS helps to:
· Prevent dehydration, which is the most immediate risk for children with diarrhea.
· Reduce mortality by addressing dehydration and preventing complications that can arise from it.
· Correct water and electrolyte deficit, as diarrhea can lead to the loss of vital fluids and electrolytes (like sodium and potassium), which ORS helps replenish.
ORS is a simple, effective, and life-saving treatment for diarrhea-related dehydration in children.
