Problem: George recovered from the MI without complications and was discharged home. Since his heart attack, he has not successfully altered his lifestyle (he remains sedentary, continues poor/high-fat and cholesterol diet, and smokes 5 cigarettes per day). George scheduled an appointment with his cardiac MD due to fatigue and a 10-pound weight gain. He had labored respirations at 32 breaths per minute and crackles bilaterally in all lung fields. HR 115 with occasional irregular beats, BP 180/100 with an S3 noted, and he had 2 pitting edema in his lower extremities bilaterally. He was sent to the hospital for workup and treatment. What cues does George's interview and assessment provide for the nurse? What are the concerns? What is the probable medical problem/diagnosis based on the current admission information listed above? What led you to this conclusion?
