Answer:

All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the situations listed would require extra effort or an interpreter/caretaker for effective communication. Being under the influence can impair judgement/memory, disabilities can have a wide range of effects on the patient's ability to speak and understand, and language barriers would obviously get in the way.
