Problem
76-year-old female patient complains of weight gain, shortness of breath, peripheral edema, and abdominal swelling. She has a history of congestive heart failure and admits to not taking her diuretic, as it makes her "have to get up every couple hours to go to the bathroom." She now has to sleep on two pillows in order to get enough air.
Explain what is occurring with the patient at the cellular level. Tell me the diagnosis, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms of the patient (clinical manifestations), risk factors, diagnostic tests/labs that should be obtained, and treatment plan.
