Mr. Hedgegrove is 79 years old and he has just been discharged from the hospital. You have been assigned to be the PSW visiting him in his home. Your main task is to ensure Mr. Hedgegrove is eating balanced meals, but the task is difficult because of his failing memory. On the first day, he would not eat any food saying, "I don't like this!" For the next few days despite changing the selection of foods, he repeated the same complaint but with increasing anger, stating, "You keep giving me the same meal! How many times do I have to tell you, I DON'T LIKE THIS!!!"
