    delay therapy delivery to the patient in response to detection of a change in the state in a single response mechanism of the at least one response mechanism within the at least one predetermined time period;

    monitor the state for a second predetermined time period;

    request the patient change the state in response to detection of the state remaining unchanged during the second predetermined time period, the request comprising at least one of an audible and visual instruction to the patient to release the one response button; and
