✍️ Sample SAP Questions & Answers

1. Which scenario represents a quality FAILURE in the SAP's follow-up testing plan?
Scheduling all 6 required tests on the same dates each month, making them predictable

Follow-up tests must be unannounced and unpredictable; scheduling them on fixed, predictable dates defeats the deterrent purpose and is a quality failure.

2. A SAP completes an evaluation and determines the employee has a Severe Opioid Use Disorder. What level of care is MOST likely to be recommended as initial treatment?
A higher level of care such as intensive outpatient, residential, or medically managed inpatient treatment

Severe OUD typically warrants higher levels of care (ASAM Level 2.1 or above), including intensive outpatient, residential, or medically managed inpatient programs.

3. In DOT drug testing, what is a 'split specimen' collection?
A single void separated into Bottle A (primary) and Bottle B (split) for a potential retest

A split specimen collection divides one void into Bottle A, which is tested first, and Bottle B, which is sealed and stored for a potential employee-requested retest.

4. What are the five process groups in SAP project management?
Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, Closing

The five groups cover the lifecycle: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing.

5. A SAP wants to use an AI-powered clinical decision-support tool to assist in evaluating an employee's substance use disorder severity. What must the SAP remember about this tool?
The SAP remains solely responsible for the clinical determination — AI tools are aids, not decision-makers

The SAP bears full professional and regulatory responsibility for all clinical determinations and cannot delegate this judgment to any software or AI tool.

6. What is stakeholder mapping in SAP practice?
Identifying parties with project interest and assessing their influence

Stakeholder mapping identifies everyone affected by a project, categorizing them by influence and expectations for targeted engagement.
