neutral  Edith Kelly: yes, but then you also have to change the second part of the sentence relating to the "condition" of the patient.

  ->  I translated only the part requested by asker and gave more detail by way of example.
agree  Kim Metzger: You don't have to change anything in the second part because the asker isn't editing the sentence; he just wants to know what "situation" means.
