QUESTION 15 OF 20

What is one ethical standard that PTs should follow?

Most medical disciplines have their own ethical standards put in place by the accrediting body. The American Physical Therapy Association has a code of ethics listed on their website you should become familiar with and use when answering similar questions. It is essential to add your perspective and not just quote the website.

"I really resonated with the American Physical Therapy Association's first ethical code, 'Physical Therapists shall respect the inherent dignity and rights of all individuals.' Every Physical Therapist should understand that you are working with a person with their autonomy regarding their lives. They may not make choices you agree with, but, as a person, they have the right to make that choice. Losing sight of that would make your practice as a therapist unethical."
