Abstract

Acute diarrheal diseases (ADEs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in children under five years of age and the elderly, aggravated by limited access to safe water and sanitation in developing countries. This paper highlights the crucial role of nursing in the management of ADEs, focusing on oral rehydration, health education and infection control. Nurses not only administer treatments, but also educate communities on hygiene and nutritional practices. Implementation of effective nursing strategies can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of ADEs, improving the quality of life of affected patients. Ten key recommendations for the management of these diseases are presented, emphasizing the importance of prevention, early diagnosis and continuous follow-up.
