What are the supervision requirements for a Physical Therapist Assistant?

  1. Monthly supervision sessions

  2. Daily direct supervision

  3. Adequate supervision ensuring no autonomous practice

  4. Supervision only during evaluations

The correct answer is: Adequate supervision ensuring no autonomous practice

Option A is incorrect because monthly supervision sessions are not enough to ensure proper supervision for a Physical Therapist Assistant. It is important for a PTA to have more frequent interaction with their supervisor in order to receive guidance and support in their role. Option B is incorrect because daily direct supervision may be too intensive and unnecessary for a Physical Therapist Assistant. While close supervision is important, it is not required for every single task and may hinder the development of the PTA's skills and autonomy. Option D is incorrect because supervision should occur not just during evaluations, but also during regular patient interactions and treatment sessions. A PTA requires supervision in all aspects of their job to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their practice.
