A nurse at Northern Hospital wants to discharge Mr Piper, an elderly man who was receiving regular services in the home until he went into hospital for an operation five days ago. It is a Friday afternoon and the hospital's priority is to ensure beds are available for new patients and they have provided the service required: the operation with a couple of days after-care. However, there is insufficient care to support the client at home and you are waiting for clarification from the hospital about the level of care needed. You do not have the brokerage or resources in place to ensure the client receives the appropriate amount of care at home following their operation.

1. What do you do in this situation?
2. What weight do you place on Mr Piper's desire to return home?
3. include references using APA 7 references format
