👤 Eleanor, 74, "a little more tired than usual"

Vitals stable. Lungs clear. Resident says: "She's fine."

But you notice: ankles swollen, sitting forward, weight up 6 lbs in 2 weeks.

FACES: All 5 domains positive. Now needs 2 pillows (orthopnea). Walking distance halved (NYHA II→III).

Precipitant: Ran out of furosemide + birthday party sodium.

⚠️ Clear lungs almost fooled the team. Your FACES assessment caught the decompensation.
