Being put on the spot to make a selection from the menu can make your parent feel flustered and pressured. To head this off, casually talk through the menu options with her before the waitress comes to take your order. Read aloud from the menu and compare notes with your parent until you get a sense of what she'd prefer. Then, when the waitress arrives, place your order first, and then say, "And my mother has decided she would like . . ." -- and then order hers.
