This type of information is not usually something the PTA would have knowledge of and would not be able to respond to. In this case, a simple "I don't know" would suffice. Stating you could get the information later, that it was none of his business, or making up a figure would not be appropriate in a legal proceeding. The PTA bears some responsibility in protecting the medical facility as well as the patient and should never offer additional information in response to questions.
