Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. In general there are three categories of theories that explain how and why aging occurs. Biological theories posit that aging is a phenomenon experienced by all members of a given species, that it is a process of physical decline, that it is progressive and gradual, and that it is irreversible. Psychological theories focus on psychological changes that occur with age. Sociological theories focus on changes in roles and relationships that occur with advancing aging. Individualism is not a theory category for aging.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Women may need to be assisted to adapt to lifestyle changes necessitated by chronic illness or to manage symptoms such as pain. A chair lift would help the client with multiple sclerosis manage a lifestyle change. Unwanted pregnancy management, eating disorder management, and reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections are not health restoration interventions.
