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 Loren and Loren sustained burns to his right forearm and hand while working

with hot oil. The burn area is red with blistering and the patient report significant pain.

On examination, capillary refill is intact, and the wound

blanches with pressure. The patient is referred to physical therapy to prevent complications

during the early phase of healing. Which intervention is most appropriate during this initial

phase of rehabilitation? So we have A, daily aggressive

stretching to maintain range of motion. B, moisturizing and scar massage to prevent contracture

formation. C, gentle range of motion exercises to prevent joint stiffness, and D is compression wrapping to reduce

hypertrophic scarring. All right, let's go up to the top of this one. You know, one key

principle that comes up on the MPTE is healing timelines for body tissues, whether it's a ligament,

bone, tendon, muscle, even skin. All right, the challenge is knowing these timelines,

because it helps us to narrow down the exact intervention
