Crohn’s Disease
8/29/2016 10
Crohn’s Disease: Description
• Occurs anywhere along the GI tract. Most
commonly affects terminal ileum
8/29/2016 12
Crohn’s Disease: Pathopsysiology
It is subacute and chronic inflammation that extends through all layers (ie,
transmural lesion) of the bowel wall from the intestinal mucosa.
perforation begin to appear on the inflamed mucosa. These lesions are not in
continuous contact with one another and are separated by normal tissue.

Crohn’s disease:
Clinical Manifestations
• Lower right quadrant pain (usually constant)
• Diarrhea (soft stools)
• Colon spasm ----- decrease PO intake, malnutrition,
weight loss
• Malabsorption of vital nutrients---- anemia, fluid &
electrolyte imbalances
• Steatorrhea (fatty diarrheal stool)
• Abscesses and fistulas

8/29/2016 15
IBD: Diagnostic Tests
CBC:
• High WBC, ESR
Biochemistry:
• Low Na, K and Cl levels
• Hypoalbuminemia
Stool cultures:
• Bacterial growth
• Colonoscopy (most definitive for diagnosis)l
Sigmoidoscopy
• Visualization of lesion
Barium enemas
• Identify lesion , obstruction and passage of intestinal lumen
8/29/2016 16
IBS: Treatment Goals
• Reduction of inflammation
• provide physical and emotional rest
• preventing complications, enhancing QoL
8/29/2016 17
IBS: Medical Management
• Anti-Inflammation Drugs.
• Immune System Suppressors (Azathioprine )
• Antibiotics
• Anti-Diarrheal
• Fluid Replacement
• Electrolyte replacement
8/29/2016 18
Surgical Management:
Ulcerative Colitis
May require Total proctocolectomy (removal of entire
colon, rectum and anus) or collectomy and placement of
permanent Ileostomy
8/29/2016 19
Surgical Management: Ulcerative
Colitis
Post operative care:
1. Patient is kept NPO and NG tube to LWS
(tube removed after 1-2 days)
2. Ostomy care
3. Assess ostomy output
4. Replace ostomy losses with ORT and IV
fluids with additional 500 ml or more to
prevent dehydration
8/29/2016 20
IBD: Complications
• Hemorrhage/ Perforation
• Toxic mega colon
• Abscess formation
• Mechanical Intestinal obstruction
• Fluid & electrolyte imbalance
• Malnutrition due to inadequate
dietary intake, intestinal loss of
protein, fats
• Fistula (In chrons’ dx)
• Colorectal cancer
8/29/2016 21
IBD: Nursing Process
Goal
Prevention of fluid volume deficit
Maintenance of optimal nutrition and weight
Avoidance of fatigue
promoting effective coping
8/29/2016 22
IBD: Nursing Process
Diagnosis:
• Pain
• Fluid Volume Deficit
• Nutrition Less than body requirement
• Powerlessness
• Impaired skin integrity
Nursing Intervention:
1. Nutritional Therapy
» low residue, high protein and calorie diet with vitamin and
iron supplements
» Instruct client to limit diarrhea causing foods (lactose
intolerance, smoking, alcohol, caffeinated beverages,
pepper)
» Daily Weight, caloric count
8/29/2016
» Patients with severe s/s are kept NPO and put on TPN 23
IBD: Nursing Process
2. Fluid electrolyte balance
» dehydration and electrolyte imbalances require IV
fluid therapy
» I/O monitoring (COCA of stool)
» Skin care
» Record # of stools and type
» Vitals and Pain Management
3. Coping Strategies
4. Pain control
» Pharmacological & non pharamcological
interventions

Difference b/w Ulcerative Colitis and Chron’s
Disease
Characteristics Ulcerative Colitis Chron’s Disease
Areas of Begins in the rectum and proceeds Most often in terminal ileum with
involvement in a continuous manner towards patchy involvement throughout all
cecum layers of the bowel
Number of stools 10-20 liquid/day, bloody stool 5-6 soft, loose stool/day, non bloody
