What is a PTA able to do within the scope of their responsibilities?

  1. Write progress notes to other health care professionals

  2. Provide treatment if serving in a management position

  3. Supervise a PT aide

  4. Progress treatment within the plan of care

The correct answer is: Progress treatment within the plan of care

PTAs are not able to write progress notes to other health care professionals (A) as this task falls under the responsibilities of a PT. They are also not able to provide treatment if serving in a management position (B) as this goes beyond their scope of practice. While PTAs may provide supervision to a PT aide (C), this is not the only task they are able to do within their scope of responsibilities. The main responsibility of a PTA is to progress treatment within the plan of care (D), under the supervision of a PT.
