Summary
In this unit you have learnt what parents and carers of children with SAM
need to learn during the rehabilitation phase and why, how you can support
their learning and how you should interact with them. This is to prevent
recurrence of malnutrition and ensure full recovery.
Remember carers need to be shown how to prepare nutritious food, give medications
and provide tender loving care, and emotional and sensory stimulation.
