A client is admitted with the first exacerbation of Crohn's disease. The client wants to know why they can't 'just take out the diseased portion of bowel and get rid of this disease.' The nurse's response to this should be:

A Surgery cannot cure Crohn's disease as it may reoccur anywhere from mouth to anus. D If this occurs again, they will attempt to do that. C Although surgery can cure the disease, there are many problems associated with it. B Yearly treatment of the disease via a colonoscopic procedure can control it.
