AB  - An  86-year-old  woman  with  a  history  of  heart  failure  with  preserved  ejection  fraction  (HFpEF)  is  admitted  to  the  hospital  for  worsening  shortness  of  breath  and  fatigue.  She  has  multiple  coexisting  conditions  including  hypertension  (HTN),  chronic  kidney  disease,  chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease  (COPD),  anemia,  mild  cognitive  impairment,  gait  instability,  and  urinary  incontinence.  She  lives  in  an  assisted  living  facility  and  requires  help  with  her  medications,  grocery  shopping,  and  housework.  She  uses  a  walker  and  had  a  mechanical  fall  4  months  prior  to  admission.  She  has  been  hospitalized  3  times  in  the  past  year  and  will  require  subacute  rehabilitation  after  hospital  discharge  to  regain  the  ability  to  perform  self-care  activities  including  toileting,  bathing,  and  dressing.  She  wants  to  discuss  her  long-term  prognosis.
