Answer 1

• 33-year-old Jerry who has a history of mental illness and is having hallucinations.

• 45-year-old Kate who is in a coma.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Courts may need to assign a representative to make healthcare decisions for people who are either physically or mentally incapable of making their own decisions especially in relation to health.

In this situation, Jerry is mentally incapable of making decisions on account of the history of mental illness so the Court is likely to assign a representative to the case.

Kate is in a coma and so is physically unable to make healthcare decisions so will have to have a healthcare representative appointed.
