Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
CD is a chronic illness with a variable course and many potential complications. Guidance about living with chronic illness is essential for adolescents. Stress management techniques can help with exacerbations and possible limitations caused by the illness. At this time, there is no cure for CD. Surgical intervention may be indicated for complications that cannot be controlled by medical and nutritional therapy. Nutritional guidance is an essential part of management. Constipation is not usually an issue with CD. CD is not infectious, so transmission is not a concern. A low-fiber diet is indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Rectal bleeding is more common in UC than CD. Pain, perianal lesions, and growth retardation are common manifestations of CD.
