Under what conditions can an aide perform patient-related tasks?

  1. Under orders and without immediate supervision

  2. Without evaluation of the patient by PT

  3. Under continuous and immediate supervision

  4. Independently as determined by the aide

The correct answer is: Under continuous and immediate supervision

An aide can perform patient-related tasks under the condition of continuous and immediate supervision. This means that the aide must be constantly monitored and guided by a qualified healthcare professional while performing these tasks. Options A and D are incorrect because they suggest that an aide can perform these tasks without supervision, which can potentially put the patient in danger. Option B is incorrect because proper evaluation of the patient's condition by a physical therapist is necessary before an aide can perform any tasks related to the patient's care.
