An excerpt question from my NP boards practice exam today.
Q: What is the purpose of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
A. Level the playing field with respect to employment and other opportunities for disabled persons.
B. Create a federal entitlement program for AIDS patients.
C. Guarantee wheelchair access to every residential and commercial building.
D. Authorize interpreters for deaf employees at all private businesses.
Now, even though I was leaning towards A, I choose C on principle. Here was their response.
“Wrong. Correct answer A. The ADA cannot impose wheelchair ramp requirements on every building owner in America. Access ramps and interpreters may be required as a “reasonable accommodation” to qualified people in certain defined circumstances. No across-the-board mandate exists for these types of aid to the handicapped population.”
