I. Read the text carefully, and answers its questions

Nutritional rehabilitation (NR) educates mothers by involving them in nursing their
malnourished children back to health by feeding them locally available foods prepared with
indigenous cooking methods. The mothers participate in every aspect of the child’s
rehabilitation, and emotional effect of the child’s recovery in response to the diet she has
prepared is an important part of the learning experience.

Malnutrition, and in particular protein energy malnutrition (PEM), can be seen as a

deficiency in nutrients. Ultimately, the elimination of malnutrition will depend upon such factors
as controlling tuberculosis, preventing diarrhea diseases, improving the physical and domestic
situation for families, providing education (particularly for woman), enhancing opportunities for
productive employment, and adjusting social customs and economic distribution so that even the
underprivileged may have enough to eat of the foods which are available to the community.

Naturally, all of these matters imply such a radical change in the pattern of living in many
areas that it is difficult to foresee how it can be achieved within a single generation when the
most wealthy nations deploy the major part of their resources on instruments for their mutual
destruction. Meanwhile, malnourished children are brought by their anxious and distressed
parents to health services around the world. They demand and deserve some immediate actions
and cannot be put off by platitudes about the need for changes in the social order and
redeployment of national resources.

What are the alternative interventions which can be employed to treat the children and the
families that suffer from PEM, to prevent the emergence and the recurrence of this serious and
widespread condition ? These include the provision of more food, the utilization of appropriate
available foods, nutrient education about how to make the best use of the foods which exist, and
the medical management of any underlying conditions which limit the intake, absorption or
utilization of nutrients. Food supplementation only has a partial role, but it may make a critical
difference in those children who are most severely in need of nourishment.
