Question

Mr. Fenech is 68-year-old fully independent male residing in an open ward at SVPR. He even owns a mobile phone. The patient has type two diabetes but is not on insulin. At 11am Mr Fenech approaches you and asks to leave the ward and go for a walk around the residence. What would you do? Will you promote his independence or ask him to stay indoors (duty of care)? What actions could you take to mitigate the potential risk for himself and for yourself if something happens to him?
