The tasks of constantly monitoring the patient's pulse and respiration rate, sounding an alarm if the rates fall outside a preset range, and notifying the nearest nursing station if either or both of its systems fail to function properly call for repetition, as the computer must continuously perform these tasks without error. Tutorial, program modification, and simulation are not relevant to the described tasks.
