💡 Exam Tips

• Shuruat mein hamesha: Sanitize hands → Greet → Consent → Explain
• Ant mein hamesha: Record findings → Summarize → Thank patient
• Jo cheklist mein hai (49 points - Therapeutic Gymnasium) woh exercises ke liye hai - agar exercise station aaye toh woh use karna
• Har station pe 5-7 minutes milte hain - time manage karo
• Agar "Rt side" written hai toh right side pe procedure karo
