Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3

Answer to Question 2

2. Alkaline phosphatase

Rationale:
Obstructive biliary disease causes a significant elevation in alkaline phosphatase. Obstruction in the biliary tract causes an elevation in direct bilirubin, not indirect bilirubin. The client's serum amylase and MCHC are unrelated.
