Thyroid disorder topic is one of most important topic that you should study for NPTE. However, just basic materials will not make you pick the right answer. Then, What should you know more about? Based on my 6 years studying for NPTE, there might be have 3 level of different kind of questions about thyroid disorder.

Here’s a basic question. This will makes you to know about sign&symptoms like physiological things. Just knowing sign& symptoms is not enough to pass this topics. However, It’s so basic! so try first question here!

A physical therapist is checking the chart of a patient who was recently admitted to hospital. Heat intolerance, Increased body’s metabolism, unintentional weight loss and a rapid or irregular heartbeat, Low TSH level. Which is the following option?1.hyper-thyroidism

2.hypo-thyroidism

3.hyper-parathyroidism

4.hypo-parathyroidism

Second things that you should know about is a “Different diagnosis”. Can you distinguish from Grave’s disease VS Hashimoto’s disease? and If you would understand about Endocrine systems simply. That would lead you to right direction.

Third things can be more complex with a specific story’s. For example,
