Answers:
It is probably root bound put in bigger pot with some new potting soil
boston ferns LOVE moisture.usually best places for these are hanging in your bathroom...cause they get constant moisture.
Assuming it is not so overwatered it developed root rot, remember that ferns don't like direct sunlight. Look for a shady spot, or receiving very indirect sunlight. Also, it loves humus and peat! Try to mimic, as much as possible, its environment out in the forest.
If it is not getting any better now, just cut off all dead branches, and plant the root ball under a bunch of leaves or pine needles, and let it be. It will come back next year.
