In this episode you will learn: • The key differences between Crohn's disease (transmural, skip lesions) and Ulcerative Colitis (mucosal, continuous) for the NCLEX. • How to identify classic clinical signs, such as fistulas in Crohn's and severe bloody diarrhea in Ulcerative Colitis. • Nursing priorities for pharmacological agents, including steroid use for flares and infection risk with immunomodulators. • The correct nutritional plan for an acute IBD flare, emphasizing a low-residue, high-protein, high-calorie diet. • The critical distinction in surgical outcomes, where a colectomy is curative for Ulcerative Colitis but not for Crohn's disease.
