What jobs can a nurse do to help an older person?

Prereading

“You don’t have to talk about me like I am not here,” Orson butted in angrily. “I apologise Orson, but I want you to know how serious this is,” Doctor Beagrie started to continue, but Orson held up his hand. “So, you think, I am no longer capable of making my own decisions, then?”
capable
Doctor Beagrie sat across from Deborah Joy, her father, and her husband and spoke very seriously. “It is my strong recommendation that Orson’s living situation is changed. He has a number of very concerning health problems, which will soon need round-the-clock care. His abilities to wash and dress and provide for his basic needs are diminishing.”

Stubborn Seniors

Deborah groaned because she had heard her father say the same thing many times before. This time, however, her husband nodded and agreed with Orson. “That’s fine, Orson. We want to respect your wishes. But we also want to make sure you are taken care of. You need to agree to having a nurse come to your house to help you.”
respect
Doctor Beagrie thought carefully, “No, but I think you need to realise how your decisions are affecting other people; yourself included. It’s not safe for you to live alone anymore.” “I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this time a bit louder than the first.” Orson turned to face his daughter. “I am not leaving my house. I’ve lived there for sixty years, and I plan to die there.”
Doctor Beagrie was busy searching on his computer and suddenly turned the screen towards Orson. “Here is one you might like. She was a nurse in the army, so she knows how to deal with stubborn men. We’ll give her some strict orders about what to do and I’m sure she’ll follow them.
stubborn
“I don’t want any more nosy but nice, noisy gals coming in and taking over my house,” Orson said gruffly. “They’re always moving everything around and telling me what to do. The last one kept hiding my cigarettes. I won't tolerate any rule-making busybody who wants to change me or my habits, either."
Deborah Joy read the information on the screen about the nurse, a board-certified nurse named Georgina. “She sounds perfect. She’s been a nurse for over forty years. I bet nothing can surprise her. I am certain that she will be much more resilient than the last nurse. Let’s give her a try, okay Dad?” Orson scowled, “It seems like I have no other choice. Just make sure she knows to leave me alone and we’ll get along fine.”
Deborah Joy exchanged looks with the Doctor Beagrie and whispered, “Well, we can hope this one will work out.” Doctor Beagrie adjusted his glasses while he opened up the form to fill out to hire Georgina.
