ANd rAted A+
Class I HF - asymptomatic during normal activities, no pulmonary congestion or hypotension, no
activity restriction-good prognosis
Class II HF - Some symptoms on physical exertion, absent at rest, some limited ADLS. Slight
pulmonary edema, may have basilar rales. Good prognosis
Class III HF - Obvious ADL limited, discomfort on any exertion, fair prognosis.
Class IV HF - Symptoms at rest, poor prognosis

Infection
Atrophic urethritis
Pharmacy
Excessive urine production
Stool impaction

Ascites max pleurX amount drained - 2L
Greatest risk with lymphedema - infection
Medicare Part A - hospital, Rehab, HH, hospice-no premium
, Medicare Part B - Provider visits, PT, OT-deductible
