    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.
