n. 病人,患者;受动者,承受者
The patient is terminally ill.

The patient is still in denial.
病人仍然拒不接受事实。

patience:
n. 耐性,耐心;忍耐,容忍
My patience is wearing thin.
我要忍耐不住了。
She is renowned for her patience.
她的耐心是出了名的。

最主要是词性不同:
patient可做名词和形容词两种词性,做名词时是“病人”之意(可数);做形容词时是"“有耐心的”的意思。例如:She is very patient with young children.(patient做形容词:耐心的)。She treats her patient patiently.(patient做名词:病人)
patience只做名词,意为“耐性,耐心”。例如:Facing the naughty boy,she lost her patience.
