The patient presented with shortness of breath, fatigue, and anxiety related to congestive heart failure. On examination, the patient had distant heart sounds, crackles, edema, and decreased oxygen saturation. The nursing diagnosis was ineffective breathing pattern related to decreased lung expansion from pulmonary congestion. The plan was for the patient to demonstrate improved breathing techniques and decrease respiratory rate with nursing interventions over 8 hours. Goals were met as breathing and vital signs improved with rest, positioning, relaxation techniques,
