    Study Notes

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

    • IBD affects parts of the GI tract, with acute and chronic forms.
    • IBD can lead to nutritional deficiencies, altered bowel habits, infections, pain, and fluid/electrolyte imbalances.
    • Nurses need IBD knowledge to work with patients and other healthcare professionals.

    Acute Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    • Includes appendicitis.
    • Appendicitis is appendix inflammation.
    • Obstruction of the appendix opening is a cause.
    • Fecaliths (hard stool) can start the obstruction.
    • Risk is higher for adolescents and young adults.
    • Refer to the Nursing Care of Children Review Module, Chapter 23.
