Hey, what's up? It's Coach K. Do you feel like you have a solid plan in place to guarantee that

pass symbol? There are so many students that I talk to that say that they hate reading and they feel

lost with their study plan. If this sounds like you, click the link in the show notes to apply for

our coaching program. We'll walk you through absolutely everything and help you walk into the NPTE knowing that you're going to pass.

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

MPTE and start creating a life you love, you're in the right place. Enjoy the show.

For this week's clinical file, we have Brenda and Brenda is treating a patient with a recent

brain injury. The therapist applies a strong, noxious stimulus to the patient's forearm to elicit a response.

The patient is difficult to arouse, but while awake remains confused.

Which of the following should be documented in the patient's record?

So we have A, stupor, B, uptunded, C, lethargic, and D is comatose.

All right, let's go up to the top of this question.

This is kind of like an MPTE curve ball right here.

We got some medical terminology, and you got to match this clinical presentation with which

of the words make sense.
