Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The subculture theory maintains that older people are less well integrated into the larger society and interact more among themselves, compared with people from other age groups. The theory does not prioritize economic achievement or the biologic effects of aging. Older adults do not have a diminished need for social interaction.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Biologic theories of aging do not address the significant influence of nursing, medical, and psychosocial interventions that can improve a person's functioning and life expectancy. More broadly, they do not address holistic questions surrounding wellness. They are generally able to account for increases in life expectancy and phenomena such as cell division.
