title: Assessing and supporting patients who have IBD.
abstract: This two-part series gives general nurses information about inflammatory bowel disease. Part 1 explored the aetiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms. This second part looks at how patients are assessed and treated, and the nurse's role. Although treatment of this condition may be complex, nurses can embed the 6Cs into practice to ensure they provide care and support of a high quality.
