Answer 1

The severity of coma impairment is categorized into several levels. Patients may or may not progress through these levels. In the first level, the brain responsiveness lessens, normal reflexes are lost, the patient no longer responds to pain and cannot hear.

Contrary to popular belief, a patient in a coma does not always lay still and quiet. They may talk, walk, and perform other functions that may sometimes appear to be conscious acts but are not.

Two scales of measurement often used in TBI diagnosis to determine the level of coma are the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the Ranchos Los Amigos Scale (RLAS). The GCS is a simple 15-point scale used by medical professionals to assess severity of neurologic trauma, and establish a prognosis. The RLAS is a more complex scale that has eight separate levels, and is often used in the first few weeks or months of coma while the patient is under closer observation, and when shifts between levels are more frequent

Umm, well when you're unresponsive (comatose) you have zero control of your bladder and bowels so you are incontinent, usually you would have a catheter placed or just need to be changed frequently like a baby does. Of course you can't "eat" normally, but if you're in a coma long enough you would have a feeding tube (ng or g tube) placed for nourishment. I don't know if you dream or not and if you'd remember anything about being in one. Hope this helps.

There are many levels of Comas. You can not predict what the person is seeing or hearing.
Some people do everyday things. A doctor is your best bet for a correct answer.
