PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam

What must PT students or interns document for each treatment?

1. Their full name and signature only

2. Treatment details at the end of the week

3. Each treatment, signature, and CI countersign on the same day

4. A weekly summary of treatments

The correct answer is: Each treatment, signature, and CI countersign on the same day

PT students or interns must always document each treatment they perform, their own signature, and a countersignature from their CI, all on the same day. Option A is incorrect as it only includes the student/intern's name and signature, which is not enough documentation. Option B is incorrect as it suggests only documenting treatment details at the end of the week, which is not timely or thorough enough. Option D is also incorrect as it only requires a weekly summary, rather than a complete documentation for each treatment.
