A nurse is assessing a client who has an obstruction of the common bile duct resulting from chronic cholecystitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. An obstruction of the common bile duct causes dark amber or tea-colored urine due to increased bilirubin excretion. B. The gallbladder and common bile duct are located in the right upper quadrant, so pain is typically felt there. C. Obstruction of the common bile duct prevents bile from reaching the intestines, impairing fat digestion and absorption, leading to steatorrhea (fatty, foul-smelling stools). D. Ecchymosis is not a typical sign of common bile duct obstruction. It may indicate coagulation disorders, but it is unrelated to chronic cholecystitis.
