You have been assigned to care for an 85-year-old male with diabetes in his home. His Plan of Care states that he needs to limit sugar. You are responsible for helping him with meal preparation, personal hygiene, and light housekeeping. He requires constant supervision, and you are arriving at 6pm for a 12-hour shift that ends at 6am. He uses a walker to get around. When you enter the home, you notice it is cluttered and has barely any room to walk. He asks if you could please make him some oatmeal, a cup of coffee, and cut him a piece of coffee cake with a glass of milk and check if there are any bananas as he is really hungry. He also wants to eat at the kitchen table with you as he is so happy to finally have someone to talk to.

He is really hungry, so yes.
I should remind him that he needs to limit sugar and ask if there are other choices he would consider. If he insists, I should prepare the food he is asking for
