Which type of heart failure is evidenced by the following assessment findings?

• Client A has swollen ankles. His clothes fit poorly, and he has purchased larger pants and shirts. When he is weighed, he remarks that he has gained 10 lb in the last month, but his diet has not changed. He says he feels ‘‘full,’’ can’t eat as much as usual, and ‘‘works hard’’ to breathe.

• Client B becomes breathless while changing into a gown before the assessment. She reports sleeping better when sitting up in a recliner. Her cough is ‘‘wet.’’ She is tachycardic and says she has noticed less frequent urination.
