Answer

The nurse should help the patient identify a convenient nursing home facility

Explanation

In a case where a client reports having no family members who can aid after discharge, a nursing home is identified for the client to facilitate the treatment process after discharge. In this case, an effective transition planning should be applied to achieve continuity of care, review medication and clarify the state of the patient’s health and capabilities.
