PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam

What must a PT do on the same day as patient-related tasks are provided by the PTLA?

1. Submit a report to the board

2. Review and propose changes to the treatment plan

3. Countersign the documentation with initial and second name

4. Schedule a follow-up appointment for the patient

The correct answer is: Countersign the documentation with initial and second name

The PT must countersign the documentation with their initials and last name on the same day as patient-related tasks are provided by the PTLA. This is necessary for accountability and ensuring accurate and timely documentation. Options A and B do not directly relate to the PT's responsibilities on the same day as patient-related tasks. Option D may be a task that the PT completes, but it is not required on the same day as patient-related tasks provided by the PTLA. Therefore, C is the best answer.
