Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, are one of the major defense mechanisms against oxidative damage from free radicals. The theory of immunosenescence, cross-linkage theory, and the program theory of aging do not directly prioritize a role for antioxidants in maintaining health.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The scenario does not show social participation, nor does it address whether or not the client is fully aging well (successful aging). The client does show healthy aging, but active aging better fits the information presented (active physically and mentally).
