Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Interventions that promote biological theories of aging include those that help avoid skin dryness and the overuse of antacids (cross-link) as well as the minimization of stress and risk for viral in-fections (oxidative stress, immunity). Remaining physically active and emotionally connected is consistent with the psychosocial theories of aging.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Age-stratification theory considers individuals as members of cohorts with similarities to others in the same group. The importance of the similarities exceeds that of the differences. Gerotran-scendence theory posits that older adults withdraw from society, in order to give the individual the opportunity for self-reflection and exploration. Time, material possessions, and superficial relationships have less meaning. Activity theory proposes that continued activity contributes to successful aging. Continuity theory posits that individuals develop and maintain a consistent pattern of behavior over a lifetime.
