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 Kemp, and Kemp is treating a patient with lymphedema who presents to physical

therapy with a script for wound care. The patient's chart describes the wound bed as shallow and

irregular on the antiremedial lower leg. In addition, the peri wound area is

described as scaly, weepy, and warm with hemocitrin staining. Which wound type does the

patient most likely have based upon this clinical presentation? So we have A, vascular venous, B, arterial, C, mixed, and D is

inflammatory vasculitis. All right, y'all, let's go up to the top of this question. This goes into the

area of integument. They could slide this question also in cardiopalm as well, but most likely you'll see this

in integument.

Now, we're going to knock this one down.

You definitely need to know this content for the NPTE.

I actually have a cheat sheet that breaks down arterial and Venus and all of those different

types of wounds because on the NPTE, I expect a question to show up where you're going to have to differentiate it.
