Which of the following is part of providing 'adequate supervision' of a PTA?

  1. On-site supervision of the PTA by the PT

  2. Ability to communicate with a non-supervising PT at all times

  3. Close proximity by the PT at all times

  4. Ability to communicate with the supervising PT at all times

The correct answer is: Ability to communicate with the supervising PT at all times

Providing 'adequate supervision' of a PTA means that the supervising PT is able to regularly communicate with the PTA, review their work, and provide guidance and feedback. Option A, on-site supervision, may be necessary in certain situations but it is not a requirement for adequate supervision. Option B, communicating with a non-supervising PT, does not fulfill the requirement of direct supervision. Option C, close proximity by the PT, may also be necessary in certain situations but it does not necessarily provide the level of supervision needed for adequate supervision. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is D, as it states the ability to communicate with the supervising PT at all times.
