How must a PTALA be supervised?

  1. Under general supervision of a licensed PT

  2. By a medical doctor

  3. Under immediate and direct supervision of a licensed physical therapist

  4. By a board member

The correct answer is: Under immediate and direct supervision of a licensed physical therapist

A PTALA must be supervised immediately and directly by a licensed physical therapist. This is because a PTALA is a Physical Therapist Assistant Licensed Application, which means they have received formal education and training to assist physical therapists in patient care. It is important for a licensed physical therapist to supervise a PTALA as they have the knowledge and expertise to oversee and guide their work, ensuring the safety and well-being of the patient. Option A and B is incorrect as they do not specify the required level of supervision by a licensed physical therapist. Option D is incorrect as board members do not have direct involvement in the day-to-day supervision of a PTALA.
