What is required for 'adequate supervision' according to the definition provided?

  1. A PT must always be in direct visual contact with a PTA

  2. A PT needs to be available for communication at all times with a PTA

  3. A PTA must work independently without needing supervision

  4. A PTA must supervise the PT in return

The correct answer is: A PT needs to be available for communication at all times with a PTA

The definition of 'adequate supervision' requires a PT to be available for communication at all times with a PTA. This means that the PT must be reachable and able to provide guidance or direction to the PTA when needed. Option A is incorrect because direct visual contact is not always necessary for adequate supervision. Option C is incorrect because a PTA must always work under the supervision of a PT. Option D is also incorrect because a PTA cannot supervise a PT, as the PT is responsible for supervision in the PT-PTA relationship.
