An aphasia evaluation of a 68-year-old retired woman reveals utterances of
one to two words, no apraxia of speech, and relatively good
comprehension. When the patient makes production errors, they are
typically semantic errors and she attempts to correct them, often with
success. Her goal is to use more words to convey ideas using complete
sentences. She is active and wants to communicate in various settings,
such as at her volunteer job, with her family, and when traveling. Which of
the following treatments best prioritizes the patient's language needs and
personal goals?
A.Providing a script for the patient to recite that allows her to tell people
about her stroke
B.Starting Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) to increase
word retrieval in untrained discourse
C.Engaging the patient in semantic feature analysis (SFA) to teach her self-
cuing techniques and aid with word retrieval
D.Having the patient use mel ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B
Option (B) is correct. The patient's language impairment is related to
word-retrieval impairments that affect the ability to produce complete
utterances. VNeSTV N e S T has been shown to increase word-
retrieval abilities in untrained tasks, which could potentially aid in
various functional scenarios.
Ms. Malone, a 65-year-old retired attorney, presents with severe nonfluent
aphasia secondary to a stroke that occurred more than a year ago.
Speech-language intervention helped her regain the ability to answer
simple questions but not initiate speech. Citing Ms. Malone's frustration at
her limitations, her family requests that she be evaluated for an
augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device.
During Ms. Malone's assessment, the SLP determines that she could
potentially benefit from AAC services and initiates discussion of
,intervention goals. Once goals are established and Ms. Malone has her
device, she begins to learn how to operate her device to produce common
spoken messages. Over the course of intervention, Ms. Malone is
ultimately able to produce novel sentences.
Regarding Ms. Malone's proposed AAC assessment, which of the following
statements is true?
A.Her choice of devices will be severely limit ---------CORRECT ANSWER--

Which THREE of the following are additional communication strategies that
are valid for Ms. Malone?
A.Incorporating multimodal communicat ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------
---------A, B, D Options (A), (B), and (D) are correct. Option (A) is correct
because multimodal strategies augment the entirety of
communication. Option (B) is correct because AACA A C intervention
works best when regular communication partners are involved.
Option (D) is correct because taking an active role in initiating
communication will help MsMiss. Malone incorporate the AACA A C
intervention into her daily life and result in improved confidence and
less frustration.
Which of the following statements best reflects the role of stimulability in
generating a prognosis for remediation of gliding in a 9-year-old child?
A. A child who is not stimulable for /r/, as in the word run will require
treatment for the sound to be acquired.
B. Even if the child is not stimulable for /r/, as in the word run, the sound
will still develop without treatment.
C. If the child is stimulable for /l/, as in the word last, the SLP can expect
the /r/, as in the word run to improve at the same rate.
D. Stimulability does not play a role in determining a prognosis for
remediation of speech sound disorders. ---------CORRECT ANSWER---------
--------A
According to current research, which of the following is most contributing to
a rise in oropharyngeal cancers in the United States?
A.Cigarettes
B.Human papillomavirus (HPV)
C.Alcohol
D.Smokeless tobacco ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B
, According to research, which of the following structural factors has the
most adverse effect on articulation?
A.Short labial frenulum
B.Micrognathia
C.Unilateral facial palsy
D.Class III malocclusion ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------D
Which THREE of the following statements are true regarding the treatment
of swallowing disorders?
A.Thickened liquids cause dehydration because they require more water to
be metabolized.
B.The chin-down posture eliminates thin-liquid aspiration from the pyriform
sinuses.
C.Supraglottic swallow may cause cardiac arrhythmia in patients with
coronary artery disease or stroke history.
D.Mass practice and task specificity are important principles of exercise
therapy.
E.Periodontal disease due to poor oral hygiene increases aspiration risk in
people with dysphagia.
F.Shaker and jaw-opening exercises are designed to increase the upper
esophageal sphincter opening. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C,
D, F Options (C), (D) and (F) are correct. Studies have found that
patients with strokes or coronary artery disease who perform the
supraglottic swallow maneuver can develop cardiac arrhythmia, the
definition of motor learning theory states mass practice and task
specificity are important principles of exercise therapy, and Shaker
and jaw-opening exercises are designed to increase upper
esophageal sphincter opening.
To best apply the multiple oppositions method for phonological errors when
treating a child, an SLP should use pairs of words such as
A. "son" and "ton," "fun" and "pun," and "zoo" and "do" to help discriminate
stops from fricatives
B. "torn" and "sore," "soup" and "two," and "fast" and "pat" to help produce
final consonants
