Nicaragua: Need help with information for simple health care:

I am a nursing student in the US. A small group of my fellow students are traveling to Nicaragua this summer to help provide medical care. I dont know exactly where they are going, but we have all been asked to help create informational flyers about home care for simple health problems. I am working on a flyer related to vomiting and diarrhea. My problem is this, for a person in the US I can tell them to drink gatorade or Pedialyte. It can be bought at any grocery or drug store here. Do they even have access to that there? I can even give instructions on how to make a homemade version of this-but will they know what a teaspoon is or a quart? Also, can you tell me if bananas and fruit juices are readily available? Any advice you can give on the conditions there and availability of food would be appreciated. If you could tell me a little about the food staples of the more underdeveloped areas, this would help too. Thank you very much!!
