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 Henry, and Henry presents with right-sided congestive heart failure and reports

slight limitations in physical activity. The patient is comfortable at rest. However,

ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, and dysmia. Based on this description,

which of the following activities is the patient most likely to be able to do without exacerbating

their symptoms? So let's take a look at the answer choices. We have A, climbing two flights of stairs

without stopping, B, walking three miles per hour on a treadmill,

C, lying flat in Trindellenberg position, and D is running a short distance. All right, let's go

up to the top of this question and destroy this one, all right? If you're on your way to the clinic,

if you're cooking dinner right now, this is one we really want to slow down with. Make sure you take us some notes, all right? So if you're on your way to the clinic, if you're cooking dinner right now, this is one we really want to slow down with.

Make sure you're taking some notes, all right?

So if you're in the car, you might have to pull it off to the side, put them as well lies on and take these notes, all right?

Let's go ahead and knock this one out.
