No, the noun 'patient' is not an abstract noun. The noun 'patient' is a concrete noun, a word for a person.The noun 'patient' is not related to or a form of the noun 'illness'.A 'patient' may or may not have an illness. A 'patient' is a person cared for for any number of reasons other than illness, for example cosmetic surgery, a personal problem, a minor injury, etc.
How can changes in mental functions increase a patient 's risk of accident and injury
It depends on the severity of the injury and what kind of injury it is. I can say that it is unlikely for someone to fully recover from a traumatic brain injury, as even the known "miracle recoveries" often report mental fatigue and 'not being the same as before'.
it is called rehabilitation
Anyone who is in a deep or prolonged state of unconsciousness, usually due to an illness or injury, is considered to be comatose.
An injury
A physio, better known as a 'Physiotherapist' or 'Physical Therapist' helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability.
Medicine is society's standard way of dealing with illness and injury.
Answer from a Catholic (Catholics in union with the Pope)The Catholic position is that if there is reasonable hope that resuscitation would preserve the patient's life, and that to do so would not represent an undue burden to the patient, then resuscitation would be part of the minimum standard of care. If the patient is not expected to recover from a fatal illness or injury, and has begun to enter the dying process, then to continue to administer resuscitation would most likely be truly burdensome to the patient and not good care for them. In such cases, a do not resuscitate order would be appropriate.
