Rheumatic Fever Care Plan

After talking with your child's nurse, you should be able to say yes to the following statements:

• I understand what has happened to my child's heart
• I have talked to my child's nurse about local support available to help me make my home warmer and drier
• I have talked to a social worker, and a Māori, Pacific health and cultural support worker about what support is available for me and my family/whānau
• I know what to do to get my child's next penicillin injection
