Question Exercise with adverbs

The instructions for this exercise are: "Some of the underlined words can act as adverbs with no changes. Others require a change or need the suffix -mente. Give the forms of the words that need to be changed."

My questions are as follows:

3) Given sentence: Ella me miró frío y me ordenó que me marchara inmediato.
The book's answer: Ella me miró fríamente y me ordenó que me marchara inmediato.
My question: How commonly is fríamente used? And why not use inmediatemente?

5) Given sentence: Los veo regular sin gafas.
The book's answer: No changes.
My question: Really? Is regular used in this way as an adverb? Because in another sentence in the same set, they say you should change "Corto el césped regular" to "Corto el césped regularmente". Wouldn't that be the same thing as the sentence given here in #5?

6) Given sentence: Los pacientes están regular. No mejoran claro.
The book's answer: Los pacientes están regular. No mejoran claramente.
My question: I don't understand the meaning of either sentence. What are they trying to say here?

9) Given sentence: Actúa tranquilo y conduce cuidadoso.
The book's answer: Actúa tranquilo y conduce cuidadosamente.
My question: I'm not quite sure I understand the meaning of the sentences. What are they trying to say? Something like "Act quiet and behave carefully"???

Thanks for any help you can give me!
