Answer to Question 1

WBC, Ca, and LDH.

Answer to Question 2

The feeding tube in the small intestines makes it more difficult for aspiration to take place. In order for tube feeding to be aspirated, it would have to pass through the pyloric sphincter and the cardiac sphincter. With a gastric tube, the feeding would just have to pass through the cardiac sphincter.
