No. While the NAP is experienced in this area and may be able to do this, too much supervision will be required and this may not be the time for this activity (right time). c. Yes. NAP Z is a diabetic himself and he is familiar with diabetic diets; therefore it is fine for him to only reinforce this type of teaching (right directions and communication). d. No. Teaching cannot be delegated to a NAP (right task).
