Answer to Question 1

2
Early signs of toxicity in the patient taking dopaminergic agents is muscle twitching and blepha-rospasm.

Answer to Question 2

In diffusion, molecules move from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentra-tion. The organs that have the biggest blood supply receive medication more quickly, and areas of skin and fat receive the medication more slowly.
