A 6-year-old child is diagnosed with rheumatic fever and demonstrates associated chorea (sudden aimless movements of the arms and legs). Which information should the nurse provide to the parents?

Permanent life-style changes need to be made to promote safety in the home.

Muscle tension is decreased with fine motor skill projects, so these activities should be encouraged.

Consistent discipline is needed to help the child control the movements.

The chorea or movements are temporary and will eventually disappear.
