Under what conditions must a PT Aide operate?

  1. Under indirect supervision

  2. Without supervision

  3. Under immediate and direct supervision

  4. Remotely with virtual check-ins

The correct answer is: Under immediate and direct supervision

A PT Aide must operate under immediate and direct supervision, which means that their supervisor must be present and monitoring their work at all times. Option A, under indirect supervision, means that a supervisor is only observing the aide's work intermittently. Option B is incorrect as operating without supervision would be unsafe and could potentially harm patients. Option D, remotely with virtual check-ins, is also incorrect as this option does not provide immediate and direct supervision.
