AB  - An  83-year-old  female  patient  whom  you  have  followed  for  many  years  has  just  been  admitted  to  a  nursing  home  following  a  short  hospitalization.  Because  of  a  steady  decline  in  function  and  lack  of  family  and  social  support,  you  and  the  patient  have  come  to  the  realization  that  she  can  no  longer  safely  live  alone  in  her  home,  and  her  needs  were  too  great  for  assisted  living.  Her  medical  problems  include:  congestive  heart  failure,  chronic  atrial  fibrillation,  osteoarthritis,  and  depression.  Her  current  medications  are:  warfarin,  furosemide,  acetaminophen,  calcium  carbonate,  lisinopril,  metoprolol,  and  fluoxetine.  Both  the  patient  and  the  nursing  staff  report  poor  sleep  and  depressed  mood  for  the  last  2  weeks,  and  the  nurses  are  asking  for  a  sleep  aid.
