Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:In the role of an advocate,a nurse will advance the interests of another;by suggesting the family investigate its SCHIP eligibility,the nurse is directing their action toward the child's best interest.Financial assessment is more commonly the function of a social worker. The case-management activity mentioned will not provide a source of funding nor will the educational effort described.
