What is required for supervision of a PTALA?

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

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

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

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

The correct answer is: By a PT and in close proximity of the PTALA

Supervision of a PTALA requires that a licensed physical therapist (PT) be present, and they must be in close proximity to the PTALA. While a PTA can also provide supervision in immediate proximity, the highest level of supervision is provided by a PT in close proximity. Therefore, options B, C, and D are not fully correct as they include less strict levels of supervision or include options for PTAs.
