As the client cannot travel to the hospital twice a day for the therapy, the nurse should try to find an alternative plan to achieve the therapy's outcomes. This may involve finding a local therapist who can come to the client's home, or providing the client with instructions for performing the therapy themselves with the use of special equipment. It is important to work with the client to find a solution that is feasible and effective. Options such as moving the client to a long-term care facility should only be considered if all other options have been exhausted and are not feasible.
