The client is diagnosed with Crohn's disease, also known as regional enteritis. Which statement by the client supports this diagnosis?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Crohn's disease often causes alternating diarrhea and constipation due to inflammation and strictures throughout the GI tract. Pain relief after bowel movements is less specific, bright red blood is more typical of ulcerative colitis, and a rigid abdomen suggests complications.
