QUESTIONS & ANSWERS CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
A 12-year-old phonology patient responds very well to
continuous verbal reinforcement. The SLP wishes to increase
the task level for sibilant production to conversational speech,
but is concerned that the accuracy of the patient's productions
will diminish without continuous reinforcement. Which of the
following adjustments is most logical for the patient's
treatment plan?
A.Increase task level to conversation and continue with
continuous reinforcement for correct productions
B.Changing the reinforcement schedule to variable-interval
C.Discontinuing reinforcement and providing a performance
summary at the end of the conversation
D.Shifting the feedback to punishment - -----Answers----B
Option (B) is correct. Reinforcement is still needed, but a
continuous schedule would be awkward and unnecessary for
the described task.
An SLP recommends a patient perform a chin-down posture
(CDP) when swallowing liquids. Which THREE of the following
statements accurately represent published evidence regarding
the chin-down posture?
A. CDP reduced thin liquid aspiration caused by delayed
pharyngeal response in people who had a stroke.
B. CDP increased the speed and completeness of oral transit
in people with dysphagia after a stroke.
,C. CDP was shown to narrow the width of the laryngeal inlet
and widen the vallecular space during swallowing.
D. CDP resulted in an increased upper esophageal sphincter
opening diameter in patients with Parkinson's disease.
E. CDP does not reduce aspiration after the swallow in
patients who had a stroke and aspirate pyriform sinus residue.
- -----Answers----A, C, E Options (A), (C), and (E) are correct.
A study conducted by Shanahan et aland others. in 1993
showed that using the CDPC D P reduced thin liquid aspiration
caused by delayed pharyngeal response in people who
suffered had a stroke. Studies have shown that using CDPC D
P during swallowing narrows the width of the laryngeal inlet
and widens the vallecular space during swallowing when the
CDPC D P is used. The 1993 study performed by Shanahan et
aland others. showed that the CDPC D P does not reduce
aspiration after swallowing in patients who had a stroke and
aspirate pyriform sinus residue.
An SLP just completed an aphasia evaluation with an aphasia
battery. The results of the battery show that the patient with
aphasia produces very fluent speech but makes many
phonemic errors. When producing phonemic errors, the
patient stops to try and get the word right with multiple
attempts (e.g., for example., for the word screwdriver, the
patient said "Cewdriver, dewdiver, screwdriver."). The patient
also had relatively good comprehension but a pronounced
repetition impairment. The patient's results are most
consistent with which of the following type of aphasia?
A.Broca's aphasia
B.Conduction aphasia
C.Wernicke's aphasia
,D.Anomic aphasia - -----Answers----B Option (B) is correct.
All the symptoms listed are classic symptoms of conduction
aphasia and are distinguishable from other aphasia types.
An SLP works with a toddler on combining words and
assessing a variety of semantic relations. Match each toddler
utterance with the semantic relation it best reflects.
1- "Doggie eat."
2- "More cookie."
3- "Big cookie."
4- "Eat cookie."

B- Action + Object
C- Attribute + Entity
D- Recurrence - -----Answers----1A, 2D, 3C, 4B
A 28-year-old classroom teacher complaining of frequent
voice loss is seen by an SLPS L P and an otolaryngologist. It is
determined the patient's symptoms are linked to significant
vocal demands. Which of following recommendations is the
most appropriate first step to treat the underlying disorder?
A.Advising the patient to undergo complete voice rest until the
nodules improve or resolve
B.Educating the patient on the importance of hydration and
behavioral antireflux strategies
, C.Recommending voice amplification with resonant voice
therapy
D.Training strategies to increase vocal loudness - -----
Answers----C
An SLP works at a voice clinic and learns that a patient, who
has arrived for an initial voice evaluation, has not received
medical evaluation by a laryngologist. Which of the following
actions is the best plan for referring the patient to a
laryngologist for a medical evaluation?
A.Completing the voice evaluation and referring the patient to
a laryngologist for a medical evaluation prior to initiating
therapeutic intervention
B.Completing the voice evaluation and treatment plan, as the
SLP is not required to obtain medical information from a
physician and can diagnose and treat voice disorders without
referring the patient
C.Completing the voice evaluation and referring the patient to
a laryngologist while initiating therapeutic intervention,
knowing that the patient will see the laryngologist soon
D.Deferring the voice evaluation until after the patient has
seen a laryngologist for a medical evaluation - -----Answers-
---A Option (A) is correct. When voice evaluation by an SLPS L
P occurs before a physician's evaluation, the SLPS L P should
defer SLPS L P treatment planning to after the medical
evaluation information is received and reviewed.
