Q. A 24-year-old woman in her first trimester of pregnancy presents to the obstetric department complaining of nausea and vomiting. She reports that she has been experiencing these symptoms two to three times daily for the last two weeks. She has attempted dietary changes including eating bland foods, drinking ginger tea, and avoiding foods and scents that trigger her symptoms, but with minimal relief. Her vital signs are stable, and physical examination does not reveal any abnormalities. She denies abdominal pain, fever, headache, or any other symptoms. What is the most appropriate next step in managing this patient’s condition?
