Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even though a patient is unconscious, they may still be able to hear. Therefore, assuming they can hear and speaking to them calmly and reassuringly may help to provide comfort and reduce anxiety.

It is not advisable to assume that an unconscious patient can see, respond, or smell, as these senses may not be functioning properly while unconscious.
