What is essential about the PT's role regarding PT aides?

Ensuring aides perform evaluations
Providing continuous and immediate supervision
Allowing aides to work autonomously
Assigning aides to establish care plans

The correct answer is: Providing continuous and immediate supervision

Providing continuous and immediate supervision is essential for the PT's role regarding PT aides because it ensures that the aides are receiving proper guidance and support while assisting patients. This supervision is important as it allows the PT to monitor the quality of care being provided by the aides and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Aides working autonomously (option C) may not have the necessary knowledge or experience to make important decisions regarding patient care. Option A is incorrect because it is not the PT's role to perform evaluations - this is typically done by a licensed physical therapist. Assigning aides to establish care plans (option D) is also incorrect as it is the PT's responsibility to develop and oversee the care plan.
