What does 'direct & immediate supervision' require from a supervisor?

  1. Being in close proximity to the tasks provided by PTLA/PTALA/PT Aide

  2. Supervising from a remote location through digital communication

  3. Checking in with the team at the end of each workday

  4. Conducting weekly meetings to discuss tasks

The correct answer is: Being in close proximity to the tasks provided by PTLA/PTALA/PT Aide

Direct and immediate supervision requires a supervisor to be physically present and actively overseeing the tasks provided by a PTLA/PTALA/PT Aide. Supervising from a remote location through digital communication (option B) does not meet this requirement as the supervisor is not physically present. Checking in with the team at the end of each workday (option C) is not enough to provide direct and immediate supervision as the supervisor may not have observed the tasks being completed throughout the day. Conducting weekly meetings to discuss tasks (option D) may not provide enough oversight for tasks that require real-time guidance and support. Therefore, option A is the best choice for direct and immediate supervision.
