Which impairments are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act?
 
  1. Only physical impairments
   2. Only mental impairments
   3. Either physical or mental impairments
   4. Neither physical nor mental impairments



In passing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Congress attempted to combine disability with which other legal concept?
 
  1. Right to work
   2. Equality
   3. Autonomy
   4. Fairness



Discrimination against which group of persons necessitated the Americans with Disabilities Act?
 
  1. The increasing population of older Americans
   2. Those returning from war with orthopedic injuries
   3. The increasing numbers of people injured in motor vehicle accidents
   4. Those living with HIV/AIDS



The hospital has recently eliminated all nursing assistant positions and has replaced them with unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to provide patient care. How should the professional nursing staff work with these new employees?
 
  1. Continue to delegate and supervise them as they did with the nursing assistants.
   2. Treat the UAPs as independent hospital employees who do not take delegation and supervision from nurses.
   3. Realize that UAPs are less skilled than nursing assistants so supervision activities should be increased.
   4. Be cautious with delegation because the UAP is working on the license of the professional nurse.

Rationale: The aim was to ensure equality for thos with disabilities, without undue hardships being placed on those regulated by the act. It did not assure the right to work or address fairness or autonomy.

Rationale: The act was necessitated by the discrimination faced by individuals with HIV/AIDS, as those person identified loopholes not adequately addressed by existing state and federal laws.

Rationale: The professional nurses retain responsibility for delegating and supervising these hospital employees. They are not independent practitioners. The nurses should be aware of the competencies of the UAPs with whom they work, but generally the skill mix between UAPs and NAs is comparable. The UAP does not work on the license of the professional nurse.
