This episode of the NPTE Clinical Files is brought to you by the NPTE test strategy playbook.

Hey, PTs, is your repeat score less than 75%? And if it is, when you review your practice exams,

do you find several questions that you had the knowledge to, but you still got the question wrong?

Listen, you're not alone and you might have a test taking strategy

problem. You need to visit Destroy the NPTE.com to find out how you can stop getting questions wrong

about the topics that you know. Visit destroy the NPTE.com. You are now tuning in to the MPTE clinical Files, two mock NPTE-based questions told and solved

week by week.

Thank you for tuning in to the MPT clinical files.

My name is Kyle Rice, the NPT Prep coach, the founder of the PT Hustle and the creator

of the NPT Prep Success Course 2.0. And for this week's NPTE clinical file, we have our patient Tim,

and Tim is being evaluated by physical therapy for functional decline and poor blood sugar control.

Now, upon examination, the therapist finds multiple pressure ulcers on the patient's planter surfaces,

however, the patient seems

unaware. Which of the following monofilaments would best confirm the reasoning for the observed

wound? So we have A, 5.07 or the 10 gram monofilament. B is 4.17 or the one gram monofilament.

C is 1.17 or the one gram monofilament. C is 1.17 or the 1 gram monofilament. And D is 8.07 or the 10 gram

malitis.
