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.

history of type 2 diabetes who presents with a chronic, non-healing wound on his foot.

The wound is located on the lateral aspect of the foot, characterized by a sharp,

demarcated circular margin, and a pale, dry-based with minimal exudate. His medical history

includes poorly controlled hypertension and intermittent clotication. What is the most likely

classification of this ulcer?

So we have A, venous ulcer, B, mixed arterial venous ulcer, C is pure arterial ulcer, and

D is neuropathic ulcer.

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

This is a great one that falls in a line with more of that integument area because

we're dealing with wounds and ulcers and all that stuff. Listen, this is a hot target for the MPTE.

I definitely suggest you put this on your study list, all right? And then what's really cool is at the end,
