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 LICA, and LICA is a 30-year-old female who presents with intermittent lower right

quadrant pain. In addition to lower back pain, the patient has been experiencing polyarthrologia

that has progressed slowly over time. The patient reports that

only passing stool or gas seems to relieve the symptoms. Which of the following conditions is the

most likely present? So we have A, splenitis, B, Crohn's disease, C, appendicitis, and D is ulcerative colitis.

All right, y'all.

Let's go up to the top of this question.

This kind of goes into the world of other systems.

You know that other system section on the NPTE, where you got to have a good understanding of some of the

conditions that are in the gastrointestinal area or metabolic or whatnot, right?

You have to have an understanding of these pathologies and the signs and symptoms that are

consistent with them, all right?

And so this question, what we're going to do is going to break it down nice and easy for those of you all who have an opportunity to take some notes here.
