<p>Yes, we can.  The verb is taken as the shorthand of the sentence (with  rest part omitted). As in your example:</p>

<p>A- 她会按医生的话去做吗？</p>

<p>A- 她会按医生的话去做吗？</p>

<p>Yes/no can usually be expressed simply by the verb as you have noticed.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>是不是....<br>
  是</p>
</blockquote>

<p></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>能不能....<br>
  能</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Many learners however like to reply awkwardly with words like 对, if you reply in this manner it would sound much more natural.</p>

<p>Can you answer to a question with only the verb of the question?. Is it right if you put an aclaration afterwards?</p>

<p>This is the example.</p>

<p>A- 她会按医生的话去做吗？</p>

Yes, we can. The verb is taken as the shorthand of the sentence (with rest part omitted). As in your example:

> A- 她会按医生的话去做吗？
>
> B- 会，他决定按医生的话去做。

And you can emphasize the point by repeating the full version. In this case, it's 她会按医生的话去做.

So, the normal dialogue would be most likely to be:

> A- 她会按医生的话去做吗？
>
> B- 会，他**会**按医生的话去做

Another example:

> A: 你愿意嫁给我吗？
>
> B: 愿意，(我愿意)，我愿意嫁给你。
