What factor do physicians often assess in employment laws relevant to disability and job capability?

  1. Personality compatibility

  2. Cognitive skill levels

  3. Social interaction abilities

  4. Functional abilities and limitations in relation to job functions

The correct answer is: Functional abilities and limitations in relation to job functions

Physicians often assess functional abilities and limitations in relation to job functions in employment laws relevant to disability and job capability because it is directly tied to job performance and determines if accommodations need to be made for individuals with disabilities. Personality compatibility, cognitive skill levels, and social interaction abilities are all important factors, but they are not directly related to job functions and may not be as significant when it comes to accommodating employees with disabilities.
