Yes, strictly speaking, the technically requirement is the same, in order to be accurate. But some people add style, to change it slightly, to embody the meaning more. For example, I would say patient a bit slower and softer at the start, actually speaking patiently, when using that meaning. But this is not a requirement for technical accuracy, it's just a habit of style that some people adopt. This is where English becomes an art, beyond the black & white science of strict rules.
