Answer 1

It is necessary to feed Mrs Rice with proper food in order to keep her healthy. As I am assigned to take care of Mrs Rice for 2hrs each morning to help her with her personal care, house keeping and meals it is natural that I focus more on her nutritional part. Now as we know she loves corn bread alot and will not eat other things except for it, I would first make it and feed her. Again the other problem here is that if I make corn bread I will not be able to college my other tasks. Hence the solution here is I would not give Mrs Rice the same food everyday due to nutritional imbalance problems and will prepare it in every two or three days whereas I will be able to complete all the other tasks then.
