The vulnerable persons' category includes children, older people, mentally ill, mentally retarded, and confused persons. Such people are considered as vulnerable to deficient or harmful care. Thus, in this case, the 4-year-old child with the heart valve disease falls under the vulnerable persons' category. Middle-aged people and teenagers do not fall into the vulnerable category.
