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 Carrie, and Carrie is treating a patient post-heart transplant in cardiac rehabilitation.

The treating therapist instructs the patient to perform a five to 10-minute cooldown following a 25-minute aerobic exercise. Which of the following is the most

likely rationale for the cool down? So we have A, to prevent a rapid increase in blood pressure,

B, maintain adequate venous return, C, Facilitate the removal of lactic acid. And D is to

increase myocardial oxygen demand. All right. This week, y'all, I'm hit you with a little bit

of cardio. Now listen, Cardiopal is one of the big three. You got to know this stuff for the

NPTE if you want to go in there with confidence. Now, every single week, I'm telling you all about

you joining my private Facebook group. All right. So if you're a PT student or PT graduate and you're

preparing for the NPTE this year, let me tell you again,

you need to get in my private Facebook group.

It's www.
