HRCI SPHR Exam - Topic 6 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for HRCI's SPHR exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 6
[All SPHR Questions]

Which of the following groups have not been identified for protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act as it relates to substance abuse?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Answer option C is correct.

Current users of illegal drugs are specifically excluded from protection under the ADA. The ADA, however, does not require that an employer retain any employee whose substance abuse---regardless of the status or type of substance---represents a serious safety risk to themselves or others. Recovering addicts are protected by the ADA. And, depending on certain conditions, users of legal substances such as alcohol or prescription drugs may be protected by the ADA.

Chapter: Risk Management

I thought current alcohol abusers were also unprotected.

I remember discussing the ADA protections, and I think current abusers of alcohol might not be protected either, but I need to double-check that.

I’m a bit confused about the distinction between legal and illegal drugs in this context. I want to say current users of illegal drugs aren’t protected, but I’m not completely certain.

I feel like we went over a similar question in class, and I think the answer might be C, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I think I remember that recovering addicts are protected, but I'm not sure about current users of illegal drugs.

I'm a bit confused by this question. There are a few data elements mentioned, but I'm not sure which two are the correct ones. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not sure if recording it is enough. Shouldn't we also try to actively solve the problem? Maybe engaging the team to find alternatives would be a good approach.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think SSL profiles might actually be the key feature here for consistency.
