failure secondary to ischemic cardiomyopathy with a current ejection fraction (EF) of only 15%. She presents to the
emergency department (ED) for shortness of breath (SOB) the past three days. Her shortness of breath has progressed
from SOB with activity to becoming SOB at rest. The last two nights she had to sleep in her recliner chair to rest
comfortably upright. She is able to speak only in partial sentences and then has to take a breath when talking to the nurse.
She has noted increased swelling in her lower legs and has gained six pounds in the last three days. She is being
transferred from the ED to the cardiac step-down where you are the nurse assigned to care for her.

progression of her heart failure the past two years. She has struggled with depression the past two years and has been
more withdrawn since her husband of 52 years died unexpectedly three months ago from a myocardial infarction.
