Question

This program attempts to automate the process of giving fluids to a hospital patient to stabilize their blood pressure: ivFluid ← 0 meanPressure ← measureBP() REPEAT UNTIL (meanPressure > 65 OR ivFluid > 2000) { injectFluid(500) ivFluid ← ivFluid + 500 meanPressure ← measureBP() } The program relies on two methods built-in to the IV machine: Name Description injectFluid(amountML) Injects the given amount of fluid (in milliliters). measureBP() Returns a number representing the patient's mean arterial pressure. Part 1: When will the computer stop executing the code inside the REPEAT loop? ️Note that there may be multiple answers to this question.

Answer 1

Final answer:

The REPEAT loop in the program stops when the patient's mean arterial pressure exceeds 65, or the IV fluid administered reaches 2000 milliliters, whichever occurs first.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computer will stop executing the code inside the REPEAT loop when one of two conditions is met: either the patient's mean arterial pressure (mean Pressure) is greater than 65, or the total amount of IV fluid administered exceeds 2000 milliliters. The loop is designed to automate the process of providing fluids to stabilize the patient's blood pressure by injecting 500 milliliters of fluid at a time and then measuring the patient's blood pressure again. If the patient's mean arterial pressure rises above 65, indicating sufficient blood pressure stabilization, or if the amount of fluid reaches a safety threshold of 2000 milliliters, the loop ceases to prevent overhydration or other complications.
