Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Tachycardia: Tachycardia is a rapid heart rate; it describes pulse, not the positional dyspnea the client reports.
B. Retractions: Retractions are visible inward movement of chest wall with respiratory effort and indicate severe respiratory distress; the report of dyspnea when supine is better described by a different term.
C. Tachypnea: Tachypnea is rapid breathing (increased respiratory rate); the symptom described is difficulty breathing while supine, not specifically an increased rate.
D. Orthopnea: Orthopnea is shortness of breath that occurs or worsens when lying flat and improves when upright; documenting orthopnea matches the symptom of sudden dyspnea in the supine position.
