4. Wheezing of breath sounds in all lobes

Rationale:
Wheezing heard when assessing breath sounds is indicative of abnormal breath sounds, which are characteristic in congestive heart failure. These sounds would indicate that the client's condition is not improving. A temperature reading of 98.6F, moderate clear mucus, and a pulse oximetry reading of 96 are all normal findings.
