Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Excessive hemolysis (breakdown) of red blood cells can cause hemolytic jaundice (prehepatic jaundice). Red blood cell breakdown is not associated with the other forms of jaundice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The clinical manifestations of alcoholic steatohepatitis include jaundice, hepatomegaly, and tes-ticular atrophy. These symptoms are not a result of a bacterial or viral infection, or a drug over-dose.
