Answer to Question 1

cerebral
Dementia is characterized by a gradual, progressive, irreversible cerebral dysfunction.

Answer to Question 2

D
Heat sources over a transdermal patch can increase the rate of absorption, leading to potentially serious adverse effects. It is recommended to have a daily patch-free interval of 10 to 12 hours because tolerance develops if patches are used 24 hours a day every day. The patch should not be applied to previously used sites for at least 1 week. Transdermal patches are never to be cut in half. A change in dosage requires a new prescription.
