Criteria for adequacy of supervision in PT practice includes:

  1. Following patient progress and assigning treatment components

  2. PTA working autonomously on alternative days

  3. Supervising only newly graduated PTAs

  4. Assigning evaluation tasks to PTAs

The correct answer is: Following patient progress and assigning treatment components

Adequate supervision in PT practice involves closely following patient progress and assigning appropriate treatment components. Option B is incorrect because PTAs should never work autonomously and should always be supervised by a licensed physical therapist. Option C is incorrect because supervision should be provided to all PTAs, regardless of their experience. Option D is incorrect because PTAs are not qualified to carry out evaluation tasks and supervision should be provided by a licensed physical therapist. The best answer is A because it includes active involvement in patient progress and treatment, as well as appropriate supervision of the PTA.
