What is required for a PT to supervise a PTA?
Being available by phone only
Being onsite
Remote monitoring
Weekly check-ins
The correct answer is: Being onsite
Being onsite is necessary for a PT to supervise a PTA. Being available by phone only or remote monitoring are not adequate forms of supervision as they do not allow for direct observation and immediate consultation. Weekly check-ins may be useful as a form of additional communication, but they do not fulfill the requirement of onsite supervision. Onsite supervision is important for ensuring the safety and quality of care for the patients being treated by the PTA.
