What is personal supervision?

• A. General supervision
• B. Direct supervision
• C. Personal supervision
• D. Retrospective supervision

Answer: (C)

Personal supervision means the supervising professional is physically present in the same practice facility and is personally available to direct and intervene as needed during the procedure. It sits between general supervision (where the supervisor isn’t required to be on-site) and direct supervision (where the supervisor must be in the treatment room). The key idea is that the supervisor maintains direct, on-site oversight and can provide immediate guidance, ensuring the procedure is performed under close, hands-on accountability. Retrospective supervision isn’t a standard level of supervision, so it isn’t applicable here.
