Answer:

The patient who would be expected to be competent is a patient who is alert and has a broken leg.

Explanation:

Even though a patient has a broken leg, they are conscious and their mental state should not be affected by the injury, which determines their ability to understand and answer questions.

In this patient's case, his ability to communicate remains intact and he can be established as competent by remaining alert.

- A patient who is intoxicated and has fallen on the sidewalk has altered state of consciousness, and is considered incompetent.

- A patient who has wandered off from the nursing home, probably because of a dementia problem, is not considered competent.

elixir [45]

Breathing starts at the nose and mouth. You inhale air into your nose or mouth, and it travels down the back of your throat and into your windpipe, or trachea. Your trachea then divides into air passages called bronchial tubes.


For your lungs to perform their best, these airways need to be open during inhalation and exhalation and free from inflammation or swelling and excess or abnormal amounts of mucus.


The LungsAs the bronchial tubes pass through the lungs, they divide into smaller air passages called bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny balloon-like air sacs called alveoli. Your body has over 300 million alveoli.


The alveoli are surrounded by a mesh of tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Here, oxygen from the inhaled air passes through the alveoli walls and into the blood.



After absorbing oxygen, the blood leaves the lungs and is carried to your heart. Your heart then pumps it through your body to provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues and organs.


As the cells use the oxygen, carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed into the blood. Your blood then carries the carbon dioxide back to your lungs, where it is removed from the body when you exhale.

Natali [406]
The most clear way would be - "Sam, I don't think stealing things from a shop is ok, it's illegal and you're stealing away the hard work of some people without paying for it". 

That should send Sam a clear message that will explain him why stealing is wrong and why he shouldn't be tealing in the first place.
