Only bought them a couple of weeks ago. She planted them, found they weren't happy, put them back in pots, but the leaves continue to go brown?

What is the matter with these?

Dunno, not my area of expertise, but the flowers seem more or less OK, just the leaves. Lots of other new planting, and they are doing fine.
I have absolutely no idea at all - it's soil, with heavy clay just below. It seems they were already beginning to droop, whilst still in the pots.
There are some signs of rust on the before picture.

I've given up on one of my fushia, as it was constantly suffering.
...although I doubt rust alone would cause that amount of damage so quickly.
Fuchsia rust / RHS
Fuchsia rust is a fungal disease that produces orange pustules on the undersides of fuchsia leaves, causes leaf shedding and reduces plant vigour.

Remove the dead leaves immediately, take it out of the pot and find a nice spot for it where the plant can spread its roots. Feed it, water it and all will be well.
