Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Nutrition Class

The physical examination and the routine tests are made and recorded. The social condition of the home is investigated and noted. The facts are gone over care fully and additional questions put to the child and parent to complete the history, at subsequent visits.

The Diagnosis must be made from the completed record and the probable causes of malnutrition recorded in the summary. All this can rarely be determined at the first visit. It may take weeks or even months to find the answer to a difficult case.

At the first visit, the mother should always be present, and both parent and child must be impressed with the seriousness of bad health and poor nutrition. It is fairly easy to convince a mother that it is important for the child to grow up big and strong. It may be more difficult to make the child feel the desirability of making the effort necessary to do this. Boys may be appealed to on the basis of athletics, for they all know that size and strength help in sports and games. The same arguments will reach girls to some extent, but the better looks of a plump and rosy child may well be impressed upon them also.
