I'm Kyle Rice, awful test taker turned physical therapists and standardized test coach for over 5,000 physical therapists worldwide.

It wasn't that long ago that I struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and the fear of failing the NPTE.

Fast forward through the challenges, the 13 standardized test failures, and many lessons learn, and you'll see the life

I have today, a life filled with love, financial freedom, and a dream job that allows me to

change lives every single day. I created the NPTE Clinical Files podcast to give you simple,

actionable strategies, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of NPTE-based questions.

All of this so that you can dominate your exam like I did and achieve your dream.

So if you're a driven PT student who's looking to pass the NPTE and start creating a life

you love, you're in the right place. Enjoy the show. For this week's clinical file,

we have Jessica, and Jessica is treating a patient with a partial thickness burn, extending down

to the papillary layer of the dermis. Which of the following is the physical therapist's primary

role? So we have A, prepping the wound for primary intention strategies. B,

debreedment of small and sturdy blisters. C, ensuring mobility of surrounding joints in preparation

for surgical intervention. D, desiccation of the burn site. All right. So let's go up to the top of this

question. Today is all about burns, baby. You got to be ready for these on your MPTE as well. I know

they can be tricky because you got to know the different like depths of burns all the different layers that you can burn

because that makes a difference for how we'll treat the patient and you got to know this stuff

to be confident on the mpTE when it comes down to burn questions all right and so i'm going to knock this

down you're going to help me, right? Okay?

Follow along with me.

Take some notes if need be and then we'll knock this one out.

Cool.
