PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam 2025 - Free PTBC California Law Practice Questions and Study Guide.

PT aides are not licensed healthcare professionals and therefore are not allowed to perform clinical tasks such as patient evaluations, writing discharge summaries, or establishing a plan of care. These tasks require specialized training and knowledge that PT aides do not possess. PT aides are primarily responsible for non-patient related tasks such as cleaning equipment, setting up treatment areas, and assisting with administrative duties. While they may have limited patient interactions, they must always be supervised by a licensed healthcare provider. Therefore, option C, patient and non-patient related tasks, is the most accurate answer.
