• NOR any mother would like to have a
malnourished child.

Nutrition Education
1. Education is a learning process by which a

crucial importance.
4. All persons involved in decision making,
as well as responsible for cooking must be

THERAPEUTIC FOOD
11/29/2016 95
The therapy used in this phase is F-75,
a milk-based liquid food containing
modest amounts of energy and protein
(75 kcal/100 mL and 0.9 g protein/100
mL)
and the administration of parenteral
antibiotics.

THERAPEUTIC FOOD
11/29/2016 96
When an improvement in the child’s
appetite and clinical condition is
observed, the child is then entered into
phase two of the treatment. This phase
uses F-100 for feeding the child. F-100 is
a “specially formulated, high-energy,
high-protein (100 kcal/100 mL, 2.9 g
protein/100 mL) milk-based liquid food”.
