Nurses Station Task

This is an individual piece of work. It forms part of your assessment. The work you submit MUST be your own!

It SHOULD NOT look the same as someone else's. This would be treated as Plagiarism!

You are to create a Program called Nurse, that will check to see if any of the patients need help. How should it work?

When a Patient presses the Red Button next to their bed it should make a Buzzer go off for 5 seconds at the Nurses Station and then Say which bed needs help. (Note: Use an Output connected to the Buzzer, DO NOT use the Beep command!)

When the Nurse goes to check on the patient she should press the Red Button a second time to Reset the program and start it running again. The program should only start again after a 5 second delay (Wait Command)

Test your program thoroughly, firstly as a simulation on screen, and then by using an interface box with buttons and a buzzer plugged into it. Demonstrate it to your teacher!

Submit your Program as well as a Word Document with all the Procedures pasted into it.

Think about how the Washing Machine program works and adopt a similar approach.

Consider using Four Procedures, a Controlling procedure and then one for each Bed.

Label your inputs and outputs to make the coding easier .eg Bed 1, Buzzer etc.

How will you make your program Repeat Forever?
