When completing speech sound evaluations, it is best practice for an SLP to include a sample of
connected speech because connected speech samples
A.provide more reliable information than standardized tests
B.contain a representative sample of all the phonemes in a language
C.may result in different types of errors than those elicited by single-word elicitation tasks
D.are easier to gloss than single-word productions
C
An SLP plans cognitive treatment for a patient with right-hemisphere disorder due to a stroke.
Which of the following patient characteristics is most likely to have an impact on the patient's
engagement in treatment and outcomes?
A.Moderate anosognosia for identified deficits
B.Hemiparesis of the left arm and hand
C.Mild word-finding difficulties
D.Moderate expressive aprosodia
A
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
1|Page
,conversation
D.Shifting the feedback to punishment
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.
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
2|Page
,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."
A- Agent + Action
B- Action + Object
C- Attribute + Entity
D- Recurrence

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
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
3|Page
, D.Deferring the voice evaluation until after the patient has seen a laryngologist for a medical
evaluation
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.
Two laws applicable to public schools are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. While these laws are similar in that they both address
the communication needs of students with disabilities, there are clear differences between
them.
Select Section 504 (A) or IDEA (B) for each statement.
1- A child is eligible under this law if he or she has any physical or mental condition that
substantially limits a major life activity.
2- This law provides an eligible student with an IEP
3- A child must have one of 13 specified disabilities to receive services under this law.
4- This law prevents discrimination against persons with disabilities.
5- The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services administers this law.
6- The Office for Civil Rights administers this law.

Kelli is a 10-year-old patient with velopharyngeal dysfunction. She presents with hypernasality,
audible nasal emission, and weak pressure for oral consonants. She also displays glottal stops
and pharyngeal fricatives. She is in speech therapy, and her parents would like to know what to
expect after she has pharyngeal flap surgery next week. Which of the following outcomes is
most appropriate for the SLP to counsel Kelli's parents to expect?
A.Surgery should eliminate the glottal stops but not the pharyngeal factors.
B.Surgery should decrease the hypernasality and audible nasal emission.
C.Surgery should eliminate the need for ongoing speech therapy.
D.Surgery should decrease hypernasality and nasal emission and eliminate articulation errors.
