Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and rapid heartbeat, which aligns with the client's symptoms of irregular palpitations and rapid heart rate with a significant pulse deficit. Atrial fibrillation can result in decreased cardiac output leading to fatigue and dizziness. Sinus bradycardia (
B) and sinus tachycardia (
C) do not match the description of a rapid and irregular heart rate with a pulse deficit. First-degree AV block (
D) is characterized by a delay in conduction between the atria and ventricles, which would not cause the rapid heart rate and pulse deficit observed in this case.
