What's the clock method of assisting with a meal?

The clock method helps visually-impaired residents feed themselves. The CNA/Nurse Aide tells the resident to use a clock face to remember where types of foods are. Example: vegetables are at the 12:00 position, meat is at 3:00. bread is at 6:00, and fruit is at 9:00. Food types should always be placed at the same position, and the CNA/Nurse Aide can remind the resident until the resident is familiar with the pattern.
