A.lead the interdisciplinary team to improve patient care
B.reduce costs and the number of professionals working at the site
C.obtain licenses in multiple areas of practice to engage in a range of services

Which of the following communication diagnoses would most likely require a treatment
program that is focused on improving auditory language comprehension?
A.Right-hemisphere communication impairment
B.Global aphasia
C.Wernicke's aphasia
,D.Broca's aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER-Option (C) is correct. The hallmark of Wernicke's aphasia
is deficits in auditory comprehension, because the site of lesions is most typically the left
superior temporal gyrus.
Which of the following procedures best establishes whether velopharyngeal dysfunction
causing hypernasality is present in a patient with flaccid dysarthria?
A.A nasopharyngoscopy
B.A videofluoroscopic swallow study
C.A laryngoscopy

that allows visualization of the velopharyngeal port during speech.
The parents of an 8-year-old boy who stutters are upset because their child was placed in the
lowest reading group at school because of his poor performance on an oral reading fluency
assessment in the classroom. The parents are very sure that their child is reading at an average
to above-average level compared to his classmates. The SLP'sS L P's informal observations of the
boy's reading performance during fluency therapy sessions are consistent with the parents'
report. Which of the following is the most appropriate way for the SLPS L P to advocate for the
boy?
A.Offer to conduct a reading assessment with the boy and report the score to the boy's teacher.
B.Recommend that the teacher reassess the child's reading level with an assessment that uses
silent reading.
C.Wait until the child's speech improves in therapy, and then ask the child's teacher to
readminister the oral reading assessment.
D.Encourage the child t - CORRECT ANSWER-Option (B) is correct. The boy's stuttering is
affecting his fluency during oral reading, so an assessment of his silent reading fluency will
provide more valid results.

shaped tongue tip, and a failure to elevate the tongue tip beyond the mandibular incisors, as
revealed during oral-facial examination?
A.Bulbar palsy
B.Ankyloglossia
C.Glossoptosis
D.Congenital lip pits - CORRECT ANSWER-Option (B) is correct. Limited tongue mobility, heart-
shaped tongue tip and a failure to elevate the tongue tip beyond the mandibular incisors are all
characteristics of ankyloglossia (tongue-tied/short lingual frenulum).
A school district does not use a standard therapy log for SLPS L P services. An SLPS L P who
works for the district develops a form to document therapy services provided. Which THREE of
the following are key to include on the form to document the provision of speech and language
IEPI E P services?
A.The date a student's IEPI E P was established
B.Student performance during the therapy session
C.Names of other students in the group
D.Types of services provided within a therapy session
E.Signature from the SLPS L P verifying delivery of services - CORRECT ANSWER-Options (B), (D),
and (E) are correct. Information on student performance is important data and helps to track
progress, listing the types of services indicates what was provided, and the SLP'sS L P's signature
documents who provided the service.
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-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.
Questions 20-through22 refer to the following.
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. H - CORRECT ANSWER-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.
Which of the following approaches is the most appropriate initial therapy focus for the patient?
A.Improving the naturalness of the speech
B.Implementing use of the cancellation technique in conjunction with conversational
disfluencies
C.Improving the ability to pause at appropriate linguistic boundaries when speaking
D.Reinforcing the patient's attempts to produce words without the use of fillers, pauses, or
word substitutions - CORRECT ANSWER-Option (D) is correct. Reinforcing open stuttering
