Which of the following activities is an example of a metalinguistic strategy used to assist a
student with language difficulties?
A.Providing a definition of a word
B.Placing story elements in sequential order
C.Editing the writing of same-aged peers
D.Discussing similarities and differences between two pictures - CORRECT ANSWER-C Option (C)
is correct. Editing the writing of a same-age peer is an example of a metalinguistic activity
because it involves the awareness, analysis, and control of language form, content, and use.
A 24-year-old male self-refers for a fluency evaluation. His presenting complaint is stuttering.
During conversation at the initial assessment, he speaks intelligibly at a typical rate and
produces no overt stutter-like disfluencies. He reports that he often expects to stutter while
conversing, but that he usually can prevent or conceal the occurrence of the expected fluency
disruptions either by substituting a word or by inserting a pause or "um" before the word upon
which he expects to be disfluent. He states that these strategies are useful and that he would
like to be able to "talk without thinking about talking." He reports that he attended speech
therapy from elementary school through high school and that it helped him reduce disfluency
significantly during therapy activities, but his disfluency frequency did not change much during
activities outside of therapy. He fears that coworkers will react negatively to - CORRECT
ANSWER-C, Option (C) is correct. Some people who stutter can prevent anticipated instances of
,stutter-like disfluency either by substituting words or by delaying the start of a word upon which
stuttering is anticipated, e.g., by pausing or by interjecting fillers such as "um." Speech-related
fear, concern about listener evaluations, and anticipated disfluency are all hallmarks of
stuttering but are not typical symptoms in SLI or cluttering. Even though the SLP has not heard
stuttering-like disfluency in the patient's speech, all other symptoms are consistent with a
diagnosis of stuttering.

ANSWER-D Option (D) is correct. Reinforcing open stuttering directly addresses the client's fear
of stuttering and provides opportunities for the client to objectively evaluate how other people
respond when he stutters openly.

ANSWER-A Option (A) is correct. Research supports the idea that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(CBTC B T) can change the communication-related attitudes of people who stutter.
,Which of the following nerves provides efferent innervation to the stylopharyngeus muscle and
contributes toward the elevation of the pharynx and the larynx?
A.The trigeminal
B.The hypoglossal
C.The vagus
D.The glossopharyngeal - CORRECT ANSWER-D Option (D) is correct. The functions described
are controlled by cranial nerve IX9, the glossopharyngeal.
A patient presents to a speech-language pathologist with voice changes. After completing a
patient assessment, the SLP notes that the patient's vocal quality and function indicate the
possibility of a superior laryngeal nerve injury. Which of the following presentations is most
consistent with this impression?
A.Inspiratory stridor
B.Hypernasal resonance
C.Complete aphonia
D.Reduced pitch range - CORRECT ANSWER-D Option (D) is correct. The superior laryngeal
nerve controls the cricoarytenoid muscles, which lengthen the vocal folds for pitch elevation.
Injury to this nerve can result in reduced pitch range, particularly in the higher frequency range.
Kimberly, a patient who suffered a brain stem stroke and has had a fairly successful recovery,
complained of food sticking in her throat and needing to swallow two to three times to clear
liquid and solid boluses. She underwent a videofluoroscopic swallowing study that showed a
limited duration of upper esophageal sphincter opening. The SLP decides to employ an
intervention plan that includes the Mendelsohn maneuver. Which of the following strategies is
most likely to be effective in accomplishing this goal?
A.Completing a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) to determine if the
patient is performing the maneuver properly
B.Performing cervical auscultation (CA) to quantify improved swallowing with the maneuver
C.Using submental surface electromyography (sEMGs) as biofeedback during attempts to
perform the maneuver
, D.Teaching the patient to use palpation of her neck and a mirror to help her master the -
CORRECT ANSWER-C Option (C) is correct. Submental surface EMGE M G has been shown to
improve acquisition of the Mendelsohn maneuver in some people though the maneuver itself is
very difficult to learn.
Which of the following statements accurately describes state licensure requirements that must
be met for an SLP to legally provide services via telepractice within the state or across state
lines?
A.An SLP is required to hold a specialty certification to provide services via telepractice because
this service delivery method requires additional skills.
B.No state licensure requirements apply to individual SLPs providing services via telepractice, as
long as their employers can obtain reimbursement.
C.The SLP should check with all relevant state licensure boards before delivering telepractice
services.
D.As long as the SLP has the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence and is licensed in the SLP's
state of residence, the SLP can legally provide services via telepractice anywhere. - CORRECT
ANSWER-C Option (C) is correct. States differ on licensure rules regarding telepractice at this
time, and failing to know the relevant regulations is not an excuse for practicing without a
license.
An evaluation is performed on a 5 year old with frequent hoarseness. Which of the following
measures is primarily included in the endoscopic examination?
A.Amplitude perturbation
B.Laryngeal visualization
C.Laryngeal airway resistance
D.Perceptual judgment - CORRECT ANSWER-B
According to literature on men's and women's voices, the prevalence of benign vocal fold
lesions in women can best be explained by differences in
A.daily dairy consumption
B.speaking duration
