A client with a history of appendectomy asks the nurse if this surgical procedure increases the risk of developing Inflammatory Bowel Disease. How should the nurse respond?

A) Incorrect. Avoiding all forms of physical activity is not recommended for individuals with IBD. Regular, moderate exercise can have positive effects on overall well-being.

B) Correct. Engaging in regular, moderate exercise can help improve overall well-being, reduce stress, and may help manage symptoms associated with IBD.

C) Incorrect. While exercise is beneficial, vigorous exercise may exacerbate symptoms for some individuals with IBD. Moderate exercise is generally recommended.

D) Incorrect. Exercise can have a positive impact on Inflammatory Bowel Disease, particularly in terms of overall health and well-being.

A) Incorrect. Kidney stones are not a direct complication of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. They may be associated with certain dietary habits or conditions, but they are not a primary concern in IBD.

B) Correct. Osteoporosis can be a complication of untreated or poorly managed Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This is due, in part, to factors such as malabsorption of nutrients and long-term steroid use, which can lead to bone density loss.

C) Incorrect. Migraine headaches are not a common complication of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. They are separate conditions with different causes.

D) Incorrect. Allergic reactions are not a direct complication of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. They may occur in individuals with allergies but are not specifically related to IBD.
