How many PTAs and aides can a physical therapist supervise?

  1. No more than 1 PTA and one aide

  2. No more than 2 PTAs and 2 aides

  3. No more than 1 PTA and one aide

  4. No more than 2 PTAs and one aide

The correct answer is: No more than 2 PTAs and one aide

The correct answer is D because according to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a physical therapist can supervise two PTAs at a time, but there is no limit on the number of aides they can supervise. Option B is incorrect because it allows for two PTAs and two aides, which exceeds the APTA's limit of two PTAs. Option A and C are also incorrect because they both limit the number of PTAs to one, which is less than the APTA's limit of two PTAs. Therefore, the correct answer is D as it allows for the maximum number of PTAs and one aide, which adheres to the APTA's guidelines.
