How must the supervision of a PT aide be conducted?

  1. By a PT and in close proximity of the aide

  2. By a PT and in immediate proximity of the aide

  3. By a PT or PTA and in immediate proximity of the aide

  4. By a PT or PTA and in close proximity of the aide

The correct answer is: By a PT and in immediate proximity of the aide

The supervision of a PT aide is required by a PT, not a PTA, and must be conducted in close proximity of the aide to ensure proper guidance and communication. Options A, C, and D include the use of a PTA, which is incorrect according to the question. Additionally, option A specifies "close proximity," while option D specifies "immediate proximity," which may be confusing. Option B clearly states that it must be conducted by a PT and in immediate proximity of the aide, making it the correct answer.
