Despite the availability of Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP), many eligible children are not enrolled. The nursing intervention that can best help eligible children to become enrolled is:
1. Educating the family about the need for keeping regular well-child visit appointments.
2. Assessing details of the family's income and expenditures.
3. Limiting costly, unnecessary duplication of services through case management.
4. Advocating for the child by encouraging the family to investigate CHIP eligibility.

Rationale 1: While it is the nurse's responsibility to educate the family, this intervention is not what will best help eligible children to become enrolled.
Rationale 2: Financial assessment is more commonly the function of a social worker.
Rationale 3: The case management activity mentioned will not provide a source of funding.
Rationale 4: In the role of an advocate, a nurse advances the interests of the child by suggesting that the family investigate CHIP eligibility.
