The following are the procedures for preparing oral rehydration salt (ORS):
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any ingredients.
2. Measure out the correct amount of clean water. The recommended ratio is 1 liter of water to 6 level teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 level teaspoon of salt.
3. Add the sugar and salt to the water and stir until completely dissolved. Make sure the sugar and salt are completely dissolved before consuming the solution.
4. Once the ORS solution is prepared, it should be consumed within 24 hours. Store any unused solution in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator.
5. Administer the ORS solution to the person in small, frequent sips to prevent dehydration. It is important to continue breastfeeding or feeding the person their regular diet along with the ORS solution.
6. If the person is unable to drink the ORS solution, seek medical attention immediately.
7. Monitor the person's symptoms and hydration levels closely. If there is no improvement or if symptoms worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
It is important to note that ORS should only be used for mild to moderate dehydration. Severe dehydration requires immediate medical attention.

Materials:
- 1 liter of clean water
- 1 sachet of oral rehydration salts (ORS)
Instructions:
1. Wash Hands and Surfaces:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Clean the surfaces where you will be preparing the ORS.
2. Measure Water:
- Measure 1 liter of clean water. If you do not have a measuring cup, fill a 2-liter bottle with water and pour out half.
3. Open ORS Sachet:
- Open the ORS sachet carefully.
4. Add ORS to Water:
- Empty the entire contents of the ORS sachet into the measured water.
5. Stir Well:
- Stir the solution vigorously for 30 seconds until the ORS is completely dissolved.
6. Check for Clear Solution:
- The solution should be clear after stirring. If there are any undissolved particles, continue stirring until they dissolve.
7. Store Appropriately:
- Keep the prepared ORS solution at room temperature (15-25°C).
- Do not refrigerate or store in direct sunlight.
- Discard any unused solution after 24 hours.
Additional Notes:
- It is important to use clean water when preparing ORS. If clean water is not available, boil the water for 1 minute to kill bacteria.
- ORS sachets are typically designed to be used for 1 liter of water. Do not add more or less water than recommended.
- If the person is not able to swallow the ORS, it can be given through a nasogastric tube or intravenously.
- ORS is not a treatment for all causes of diarrhea. If the diarrhea is accompanied by fever, blood in the stool, or severe dehydration, seek medical attention immediately.
