How does Jane's problem with Ulcerative Colitis differ from Crohn’s disease (another Inflammatory Bowel Disease)? A. The damage to Jane’s GI tract is localized to the large intestine (colon), whereas patients with Crohn’s disease may have any part of the GI tract affected in the form of “skip” lesions. B. A patient with Crohn’s disease is more likely to have bloody stool than Jane. C. The entire thickness of the Jane’s intestinal wall (mucosa, submucosa, smooth muscle, and serosa) may be affected, whereas only the mucosa is affected in patients with Crohn’s disease. D. Jane may benefit from using a nicotine patch or chewing nicotine gum, while evidence for a therapeutic benefit of nicotine in Crohn’s disease is more limited. E. Anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals, such as steroids and immunomodulators, are used to treat Crohn’s disease but not Ulcerative Colitis.
