Abstract:
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the digestive tract that tends to plague its victims with uncontrolled pain, despite numerous pharmacologic interventions. Approximately 70% of affected individuals require surgery during their disease trajectory, and management of both their chronic and acute pain can be a challenge for nurses.
