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 Brittany and Brittany presents with difficulty pushing up from a chair,

weakness with shoulder extension and adduction, and no significant sensory deficits. She recently

underwent axillary lymph node dissection following surgery for breast cancer,

which of the following peripheral nerves is most likely injured.

So we have A, axillary nerve, B, thorical dorsal nerve, C, long thoracic nerve, and D is radial nerve.

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

This is a good one, hitting in a little bit of the neuro department.

You need to be ready definitely for axillary lymph node dissection, what nerves are impacted

when a person has some type of injury or surgery to the axillary area.

This is a prime target, right?

So let's go ahead and knock this question out.

And remember, make sure to drop your answer.
