Urinary tract infections
Bed sores
Dementia
Depression

Explanation

Answer: A, B, and E - Patients who are paralyzed do not experience dementia or depression specifically related to their paralysis. As with any patient, they may experience neurological or mental health conditions; however, the paralysis in itself is not a primary cause for these conditions. Paralyzed individuals are prone to urinary tract infections, bed sores, and respiratory infections.
