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.
