RT Book, Section A1 Kirsch, Nancy R. SR Print(0) ID 1151751016 T1 Ethical Guidance: The Code of Ethics for Physical Therapists and Standards of Ethical Conduct for the Physical Therapist Assistant T2 Ethics in Physical Therapy: A Case-Based Approach YR 2018 FD 2018 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780071823333 LK accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1151751016 RD 2024/03/29 AB Ethical guidance is not static. Ethical demands on therapists have changed as practice demands have changed. With direct access in all 50 jurisdictions and the District of Columbia, the Code of Ethics was reviewed for its applicability to today’s more complicated practice demands. It was determined that the Code of Ethics no longer provided adequate guidance to practitioners facing more ethical issues as a result of more independent practice. A complete revision was adopted by the House of Delegates of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and it went into effect on July 1, 2010 (APTA, 2010).
