A client is scheduled for an upper endoscopy to evaluate symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). What area of the gastrointestinal tract will be examined during this procedure?

A) Correct. Abdominal pain and cramping are common symptoms shared by both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which are the two main types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

B) Incorrect. Rapid weight gain is not a typical symptom of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. In fact, weight loss is often a concern for individuals with IBD.

C) Incorrect. Elevated blood sugar levels are not directly associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This is more relevant to conditions like diabetes.

D) Incorrect. Vision changes and eye pain are not common symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. They may be indicative of other health issues.

A) Incorrect. Crohn's disease is not limited to the colon and rectum. It can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus.

B) Correct. Crohn's disease is known for its potential to affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, making it different from ulcerative colitis, which primarily affects the colon and rectum.

C) Incorrect. Crohn's disease can affect both the small and large intestines, but it is not limited to the small intestine alone.

D) Incorrect. Crohn's disease does not primarily affect the stomach and esophagus. It can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, but it most commonly affects the small intestine and colon.
