No respite care when a patient in pain, urgently need all the major actions like admitting in IPU or else to cure them. It's the only wayout, so no second thought should be there.

Here we have a patient who is still in pain, so I wouldn't consider respite care until the pain is managed. I would opt for gip in an IPU or a nursing home. If no gip bed is available I would next consider a nursing home admission and do continuous care in the facility until I was certain that the pain control had improved.
