Ophelia is, by Act 4, no longer a functional person. The king orders Horatio to "follow her close; give her good watch I pray you" because she cannot look after herself. Hamlet, on the other hand, although we do not see him very much in Act 4, is very much able to look after himself. In the scene immediately following Ophelia's last appearance, Horatio receives a letter in which Hamlet describes how he helped defend his ship against pirates, boarded the pirate ship and now has convinced them to return him to Denmark. He is still more than competent.
He and Horatio heard a cannon go off to celebrate a toast the king was making. Hamlet thinks it is a custom more honoured in the breach than the observance.

He appears three times, in four different scenes. First he appears to Marcellus, Bernardo and Horatio in Act one Scene 1. He later appears to them with Hamlet in Act 1 Scene 4. Hamlet follows the ghost offstage then reappears chasing him in Act 1 Scene 5. The two scenes are part of the same appearance. Finally, the ghost appears briefly in the closet scene, Act 3 Scene 4.
In Act 1 Scene 4
Hamlet tells his mother Queen Gertrude that she must repent choosing Claudius over his father. This occurs in Act 3 scene 4 of Hamlet.
What prompts this soliloquy is the fact that Hamlet has not yet gotten revenge for his father's death.
