Despite the availability of State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIPs), many eligible children are not enrolled. The nursing intervention that can best help eligible children become enrolled is:
1. Assessment of the details of the family's income and expenditures.
2. Case management to limit costly, unnecessary duplication of services.
3. Advocacy for the child by encouraging the family to investigate its SCHIP eligibility.
4. Education of the family about the need for keeping regular well-child visit appointments.
3
Rationale:
1. Financial assessment is more commonly the function of a social worker.
2. The case management activity mentioned will not provide a source of funding, and neither will the educational effort described.
3. In the role of an advocate, a nurse will advance the interests of another by suggesting the family investigate its SCHIP eligibility.
4. The case management activity mentioned will not provide a source of funding, and neither will the educational effort described.
