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 Sam, and Sam is performing an educational workshop for other therapists about the

proper utilization of low-dose ultrasound in clinical practice. Which of the following conditions

is low-dose ultrasound considered contraindicated.

So we have A, over the distal femur in a 16-year-old with quadriceps tendonitis.

B, over the site of a healing proximal humeral fracture in a 34-year-old female.

C, over the lower back in a 31-year-old female. C. Over the lower back in a 31-year-old female, who is two weeks

postpartum. And D is over the hip in a 60-year-old female with total hip replacement using

methyl-metrolacrolate. All right. So let's go up to the top of this question.

Before we get there, you know, coach got to say one thing. That when it comes to these fancy words,

whether it's a medication, whether it is a total hip replacement using methyl metrolacrolate,

I don't even know if I can pronounce that the right way.

But anyway, I want you all to know that coach be struggling to.
