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 Kehung, and Kehung is treating a patient with a suspected cranial nerve 11 injury.

Which of the following would be the least likely found during a routine examination? So we have

a atrophy, faciculations, and ipsyllateral weakness. B, inability to shrug

the ipsylateral shoulder. C, inability to turn the head contralaterally. And D is weakness of the

contralateral sternocytam mastoid and trapezias.

All right, y'all, let's go out to the top of this question.

I'm super excited to knock down this type of question here because when it comes down to the

NPTE, you're going to notice that you're going to be tested on things like dermatomes and

myotones, and you really do need to know the functions of

those nerves. Specifically, you need to know the functions of the cranial nerves as well, all right?

And so this question will give you the type of question that I would expect to see show up on the

exam. All right. So let's go up to the top of this one.
