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).

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.
