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

1
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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
