Interviewer instructions
This question is only asked if the youngest child in the household under age 5 was reported to have ever been ill, and refers to the last period of illness. The purpose is to assess home care practises of caregivers for sick children. Young children who are sick should be given increased fluids to prevent dehydration as well as to facilitate filtration of toxic substances from the blood. While increased fluid intake is considered especially important against diarrhoeal diseases, it is good practice in the case of any of the symptoms recorded in the previous question. The interviewer should be sure to read the entire question before accepting a response.
