is the patient and family vs are the patient and family

The correct phrase is 'is the patient and family'. In this case, 'patient and family' is considered as a single unit, so the singular verb 'is' should be used. It is not logical to use the plural verb 'are' because the subject is treated as a singular entity.

  • Is the patient and family satisfied with the care provided?
  • The well-being of the patient and family is our top priority.
  • Is the patient and family ready to discuss the treatment options?
  • The support of the patient and family is crucial during recovery.
  • Is the patient and family aware of the potential risks?

are the patient and family
