Study Notes

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

  • Enacted in 1990
  • Prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities
  • Applies to employment, schools, transportation, and public and private places open to the public
  • Guarantees equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities
  • Protections are similar to those provided based on race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion
  • Ensures equal opportunities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications
  • Defines a person with a disability as someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, or a record or history of such an impairment, or is regarded/perceived by others as having such an impairment
  • The term "disability" is used in a legal rather than medical context in reference to the ADA
  • Nurse practitioners should be aware of this distinction

  • Natural products are the most common complementary health approach used by adults in the United States.
  • Deep breathing and yoga, tai chi, or qi gong are the next most common approaches.
