Awoman in her first trimester of pregnancy comes to the prenatal clinic and states, "i feel nauseous and i'm vomiting all the time. i can't even keep down water." this client should be evaluated for what condition?

The answer is hyperemesis gravidarum. While it is normal for a pregnant woman to experience morning sickness (occasional vomiting), hyperemesis gravidarum condition is a case of excessive vomiting that often lasts longer than normal over a pregnancy. The condition has been associated with high HCG hormone and if left unmonitored, the pregnancy could have complications.
