Under what conditions can an aide perform patient-related tasks?

Under orders and without immediate supervision
Without evaluation of the patient by PT
Under continuous and immediate supervision
Independently as determined by the aide

The correct answer is: Under continuous and immediate supervision

An aide can perform patient-related tasks under the condition of continuous and immediate supervision. This means that the aide must be constantly monitored and guided by a qualified healthcare professional while performing these tasks. Options A and D are incorrect because they suggest that an aide can perform these tasks without supervision, which can potentially put the patient in danger. Option B is incorrect because proper evaluation of the patient's condition by a physical therapist is necessary before an aide can perform any tasks related to the patient's care.
