CETP Exam Prep Review Questions and Revised
Answers – Rated 100% Correct
1. dysarthria is associated with disorders affecting the lower motor neu-
ron pathways and motor units: Flaccid
2. dysarthria is associated with bilateral disorders of the upper motor
neurons: Spastic
3. dysarthria is associated with disorders of the cerebellum: Ataxic
4. dysarthria is associated with disorders of the basal ganglia: Hypokinetic OR
hyperkinetic
5. dysarthria is associated with unilateral disorders of the upper motor
neuron system: Unilateral upper motor neuron
6. Which of the following are not symptoms of dysarthria? (choose all that
apply)
Consistent error patterns
Groping for articulatory postures
Prosodic deficits
Articulatory deficits
Muscle weakness
Language processing deficits: Groping for articulatory postures + Language processing deficits
7. dysarthria is characteriẓed by hypernasality
continuous breathiness, diplophonia, audible inspiration or stridor, nasal emis-
sions, imprecise alternating motion rates (AMRs): flaccid
8. dysarthria can be accompanied by tongue fasciculations: flaccid
9. dysarthria is often accompanied by slow rate, strained or harsh voice
quality, pitch breaks, slow and regular AMRs (papapa, tatata, kakaka): spastic
10. hyperactive gag reflex can be a sign of dysarthria: spastic
,11. dysarthria is often accompanied by excess and equal stress, irregular
articulatory breakdowns, distorted vowels, irregular AMRs (papapa, tatata,
kakaka), excessive loudness variation, and slurring of syllables: ataxic
12. dysarthria is often accompanied by monopitch
monoloudness, normal speech rate or tendency for rapid or accelerated speech
rate, inappropriate silences, rapidly repeated phonemes, palilalia (au- tomatic
repetition of own words or phrases): Hypokinetic
,13. dysarthria is often accompanied by masked facial expression, tremu-
lous jaw, lips, tongue, reduced range of motion on AMR tasks, resting tremor,
rigidity: Hypokinetic
14. dysarthria is often accompanied by sudden forced inspiration or
expiration, transient breathiness, transient vocal strain or harshness, voice
stoppages/arrests, voice tremor, intermittent hypernasality, deterioration with
increased rate, intermittent breathy or aphonic segments, distorted vowels,
excessive loudness variation, slow and irregular AMRs: Hyperkinetic
15. dysarthria is often accompanied by myoclonus (sudden and involun-
tary jerking) of palate, pharynx, larynx, lips, nares, tongue, or respiratory mus-
cles and involuntary head, jaw, face, tongue, velar, laryngeal, and respiratory
movements: Hyperkinetic
16. dysarthria is often accompanied by unilateral lower-face weakness,
unilateral lingual weakness without atrophy or fasciculations, nonverbal oral
apraxia: Unilateral Upper Motor Neuron
17. Wernicke's aphasia - where is lesion in the brain?
- which lobe?
- posterior or anterior?
- superior or inferior?: Posterior superior region of the left temporal lobe
18. The is designed to elevate the larynx and open the esophagus during
the swallow to prevent food/liquid from falling into the airway.
A) Effortful swallow
B) Mendelsohn maneuver
C) Shaker
D) Masako
E) Supraglottic swallow
F) Super-supraglottic swallow: B) Mendelsohn maneuver
19. The is known to increase orolingual pressure, increase pressure in
, the upper pharynx, and improve tongue base retraction. It also increases the
duration of laryngeal vestibule closure, hyoid maximum anterior
excursion, upper esophageal sphincter opening, and total swallow time
A) Effortful swallow
