Yes
Generally no, but you can respond if talked to.
No
If you do, it's usually gibberish.
Hi.
Yes, you may talk, respond to questions raised by your doctor or nurse, and even you can ask questions.

Sincerely,
The true essence of conscious sedation is that the patient is truly able to be verbal, yet mildly sedated. Unconscious sedation involves a deeper plane of consciousness when the patient is not verbal.
