    Micronutrients, which are vitamins and minerals needed in small quantities, are essential to a good start in life and optimal growth and development. In particular, iron and vitamin A, play a fundamental role in maintaining healthy and productive populations. With them, children under 5 have a chance at a normal, healthy growth and become a productive adult. Without these micronutrients the human being can lose the potential of life, becoming ill and dying. Similarly, when the whole population has access to basic vitamins and minerals, countries suffer a huge loss of human potential. In total, 26.0% of Ecuadorian children under 5 have chronic malnutrition and of this total, 6.35% there is extreme malnutrition. In contrast, the overall malnutrition is almost nonexistent: only 1.7% are underweight. In size and 0.4% suffers from severe malnutrition. 2.24% of children are acutely malnourished. Most of these shortcomings are due weight by age, in turn, they are the result of chronic malnutrition. A similar analysis for the rate of underweight shows a somewhat different picture. The provinces with rates above the national average are listed from highest to lowest, Chimborazo (22.4%), Cotopaxi (20.3%), Loja (19.6%), Tungurahua (17.1%), Bolivar (16.5%), Los Rios (16.4 %) Manabi (15.6%), Guayas (15.1%) and Canar (14.8%). Instead, the provinces with global malnutrition rates below the national average are listed from lowest to highest, Carchi (9%), Pichincha (11.2%), gold (11.5%), III Imbabura (11.7%), Azuay (12.1%), Esmeraldas (13.4%) and the Amazonian provinces (14.1%). 1 With this paper we proceeded to conducting a descriptive study based on the review of the medical records of children / as of 4-35 months of age who come to the Canton Health Center who provided clinical data Echeandía on nutritional status. In Chapter I Theoretical Framework is a brief historical review of Canton Echeandía and Health Center, we report on Integrated Micronutrient Program (Vitamin "A" and Hierro) and the different diseases that can lead to the same deficit and complementary feeding. Chapter II Design Methodology show the kind of study that we have done as descriptive, analytical and cross. And the application of statistical formula in order to implement our surveys and get real data. Chapter III Analysis and Results Presentation Through the surveys we conducted an analysis of the results to implement interventions to support the program and identify and prioritize the problems found to solve the same. The same that will benefit the internal and external within the framework of a highly participatory process users. Chapter IV Proposal hope that this investigation by the Internal Rotary Nursing on Nutrition Program Component micronutrients (Vitamin "A" and Hierro) and their health benefits in children / as of 4-35 months with the In order to prevent and reduce child morbidity and mortality and malnutrition.
