Explanation
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition characterized by severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and dehydration during pregnancy. The client's laboratory results show signs consistent with dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, such as a low potassium level (3.3 mEq/L) and an elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level (28 mg/dL).
Additionally, the presence of ketones in the urine (not explicitly mentioned in the provided laboratory results but commonly associated with hyperemesis gravidarum) indicates that the body is breaking down fat for energy due to inadequate oral intake and dehydration.
These findings suggest that the client is experiencing significant fluid and electrolyte disturbances, which are commonly seen in hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, the client is at risk of developing hyperemesis gravidarum based on the laboratory results indicating dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
