Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The highest concentrations of AST are found in patients with liver disease, such as hepatitis, and during the second day after a myocardial infarction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Elevation of the anion gap suggests that a metabolic acidosis is present, and further evaluation of the patient's acid-base status is necessary.
