What can a PTA not do in relation to patient care plans?

  1. Provide input for care plans

  2. Document daily chart notes

  3. Be solely responsible in meetings assessing or modifying care plans

  4. Assist in implementing the care plans under PT supervision

The correct answer is: Be solely responsible in meetings assessing or modifying care plans

A PT is responsible for overseeing and modifying care plans, so a PTA should not take on this responsibility alone. Instead, they can provide input and assist in implementing the care plans under the supervision of a PT. Additionally, they can document daily chart notes as part of their role in the care plan process. To ensure the best care for patients, it is important to have both a PT and PTA working together in the development and implementation of care plans.
