The patients skin is clammy, cool, and diaphoretic and she can only answer yes-or-no questions because of dyspnea. she has jugular venous distention to the angle of the jaw, rales in both lung fields, and +2 pretibial edema bilaterally. her heart sounds are regular although tachycardic with s4 gallop.
