(e.g., apple and cranberry) and to ensure the child gets lots of fluids.
It is also important to teach the child to completely empty the
bladder on voiding and to void frequently. Using a doll, demonstrate
front-to-back wiping hygiene. It is important to discuss with the

home and asks how much to give. What is the best response of the

slows GI motility and therefore slow down the excretion of the cause
of the diarrhea. Discuss oral rehydration therapy. After being
rehydrated the child should receive age-appropriate food as
tolerated.
