N.D. Admin Code 61.5-05-01-01 - Delegation of responsibility
When a physical therapist delegates patient care responsibilities to physical therapist assistants, the physical therapist holds responsibility for supervision of the physical therapy program. Physical therapists shall not delegate to a less qualified person any activity that requires the unique skills, knowledge, and judgment of the physical therapist. The primary responsibility for physical therapy care rests with the supervising physical therapist.
