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 Freya, and Freya presents with a history of myocardio infarction and reports

experiencing chest pain during exercise. Which of the following interventions would be most

appropriate. So we have, A, discontinue exercise immediately and refer the patient to a

physician. B, continue exercise at a reduced intensity level. C, increase the duration of exercise to

build endurance. And D is use resistance training to improve cardiac function.

All right. I know over the past, you know, few weeks, you know, we've been really diving into

interventions. I know a lot of you have been reaching out to me saying your intervention

score is a bit lower on your pete's and your practice exams. And so I wanted to throw some of these types of questions at you, especially when it has to do with,

when do I refer to the physician?

When do I refer to the nurse?

You know, do I stop training or stop the exercise?

So these types of questions can be very difficult.
