Which statement indicates the guardian understands the teaching about rheumatic fever?

I should not give my child aspirin for pain or fever.
My child will take antibiotics for 6 months.
My child might have a period of irregular movement of the extremities.
I should expect there to be blood in my child's urine.

The correct answer is: My child might have a period of irregular movement of the extremities.

The correct interpretation of the guardian's understanding of rheumatic fever is demonstrated in the statement about the possibility of irregular movement of the extremities. Rheumatic fever can lead to a condition called Sydenham's chorea, which is characterized by rapid, unintentional movements that can affect the face, hands, and other parts of the body. This manifestation is significant and indicates that the guardian has been informed about one of the potential neurological complications associated with rheumatic fever. While the other statements touch on relevant aspects of the disease or treatment, they do not convey the same level of understanding about the specific complications that can arise from rheumatic fever itself. Recognizing symptoms like irregular movements suggests that the guardian is aware of the broader impacts the illness can have beyond just physical symptoms like fever or pain, which is crucial for appropriate monitoring and management of the condition.
