Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding unlicensed personnel?

• A physical therapist assistant can assign patient tasks to the personnel
• General supervision is considered sufficient during patient care

delivered by unlicensed personnel

• Two unlicensed personnel can be providing patient directed care

simultaneously while supervised by a licensee

• If properly trained by a physical therapist, the personnel can assess

the patient's progress during treatments - ANSWER- CORRECT

ANSWER: C

The number of unlicensed personnel participating in patient care is determined by the physical therapist. It should be guided by what the patient needs as well as the setting. In other words, there does not appear to be a limit as to how many unlicensed personnel participate in patient care as long as it is justified. Therefore, two unlicensed personnel could be participating in care simultaneously under the supervision of a licensee. This includes a physical therapist assistant as long as the task that the unlicensed personnel is performing is within the assistants scope of responsibilities.
