  • If you want to pass, this is a necessity

    I passed my NPTE on my first attempt with a 742 largely due to Kyle Rice’s podcast. All the drives to the clinic I was letting these rip and got through over three years worth of his podcasts. Such an easy way to get reps in and very engaging format. Bravo Mr. Rice 👏🏽

  • Very beneficial

    This is a great podcast. Sometimes I wish some of the questions were a little bit harder though. It seems like compared to practice exams these questions tend to be easy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Diabetes Examination
Q: Which of the following examination procedures is most important for the therapist to perform?
The host explains that testing protective sensation with a 10-gram monofilament is the most important step because it directly addresses the plantar ulcer's etiology and the patient's neuropathy risk, guiding safety and subsequent decisions.
Radial Head Displaced Fracture - LEAST LIKELY
Q: Which examination finding is least likely eight weeks after a displaced radial head fracture with distal neuromuscular involvement?
Diminished finger extension passive ROM is least likely because passive motion should be preserved if there is an active motor deficit from nerve involvement rather than joint stiffness; the true challenge is identifying which findings reflect active deficits from nerve injury rather than passive restrictions.
Neurologic Gait Evaluation
Q: Harry presents with a right-sided posterior lateral disc herniation at L5S1 and demonstrates weakness associated with the involved nerve root. Which gait deviation is most likely?
A. Diminish propulsion during terminal stance, because S1 nerve root involvement weakens plantar flexors which are essential for push-off and propulsion.
Wound Care Dressing Selection - Peripheral Vascular Disease
Q: Which dressing is most appropriate for a dry, desiccated wound with fragile surrounding skin in peripheral vascular disease?
Amorphous hydrogel is the best option because it donates moisture to dry wounds and supports autolytic debridement, unlike dressings that are more absorptive or occlusive.
NPTE Clinical Scenario Acute Care
Q: Which approach would be the most appropriate when giving instructions for exercises?
Demonstrate the exercise first, then provide simple one-step commands.
