Assignment:

You are the home care nurse assigned to visit an 85-year-old male patient who was discharged from the hospital with new-onset left-sided heart failure. You arrive at Mr. Smiths house to find that he is having difficulty breathing and appears anxious. You quickly assess Mr. Smiths lungs and find that he has bilateral rhonchi in the upper lobes. Mr. Smith shares that he has not taken his medications this morning. You ask to see the discharge instructions and note that Mr. Smith has seen several specialists, and each has prescribed a different medication regimen. You begin by determining which medications are due at this time.
