Explanation:

Congestive heart failure is a chronic condition that affects the way your heart pumps. This is what people refer to when they talk about "herat failure." In this condition, fluid builds up around the heart and causes it to pump inefficiently, leading to a back up of fluids inside the lungs, abdomen, liver or lower body of a patient. On the other hand, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea is an attack of shortness of breath, usually occurring at night. One way to assess a client with congestive heart failure for nocturnal dyspnea is by asking the client how many pillows he normally uses for sleep.
