Question

A person is given a ............. when he has loose motion and vomiting.

• A. Salt solution
• B. Glucose solution
• C. ORS
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Vomiting and loose motion cause dehydration. Hence, the intake of fluids to maintain the electrolytes is balanced. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration, especially due to diarrhoea. It involves drinking water with modest amounts of sugar and salts, specifically sodium and potassium.

So, the correct answer is option D.
