After interviewing the patient and obtaining a dietary recall, you determine that Mr. Gregory has been non-compliant with diet, exercise, and medication leading to his CHF exacerbation. Mr. Gregory was diagnosed with CHF one month prior to admission and reports never having received education. You add the nutrition diagnosis, “Food and Nutrition-Related Knowledge Deficit”. When you follow up with Mr. Gregory you find out he was transferred to the ICU 4 days prior with respiratory failure and subsequently intubated.

What TWO diagnoses are MOST pertinent to the patient RIGHT NOW.
