Mrs Ahmed is well within her right to choose food to eat that conflicts with her dietary and nutritional needs, however my duty of care would require me to encourage Mrs Ahmed to choose different food that would be more suitable to eat and explain to her why they are more suitable for her to eat, my duty of care would also require me to record this problem and seek advice from the individuals GP/family. If the individual has the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves I cannot refuse to get what she has asked for at shopping.
