ETS PRACTICE TESTS QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2025 1. which of the following factors contributes to UES opening. Select all that apply a. Partial relaxation of the circopharyngeal portion of the inferior constrictor muscle b. Superior and anterior hypolaryngeal excursion c. Velopharyngeal closure D. Posterior and inferior hyolaryngeal excursion: a. Partial relaxation of the circopharyngeal portion of the inferior constrictor muscle b. Superior and anterior hypolaryngeal excursion partial relaxation of the cricopharyngeal portion of the inferior constrictor muscle is part of the neurological sequence. Superior and anterior hyolaryngeal excursion provides a mechanical opening 2. Which of the following: 3. Which of the following is an accurate statement about whispered speech? A.It is produced by approximating the arytenoid cartilages so that their medial surfaces are in direct contact. B.It is composed largely of aperiodic sounds. C.Spectrographic analysis of it reveals no discernible formants for the vowels. D.Most people can produce longer utterances per breath using it than they can using conventional phonation.: b. It is composed largely of aperiodic sounds. Whispered speech is composed largely of aperiodic sounds, as the vocal folds do not vibrate while whispering is taking place. 4. A client exhibits weakness, atrophy, and fasciculations of the right side of the tongue and lower face. The client also has right vocal-fold weakness and nasal regurgitation of fluid when swallowing. These problems are the result of damage to which part of the nervous system? A.Brain stem B.Cerebellum C.Left cerebral cortex D.Right cerebral cortex: A.Brain stem Weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, and the other described symptoms are all consistent with a lower motor neuron locus and suspected cranial nerve abnormalities (primarily CN X and XII). These cranial nerves emerge directly from the brain stem and help mediate the transfer of messages from the brain to the brain stem and to the structures of the head and neck. 5. A client has been determined to have poor upper esophageal sphincter opening secondary to decreased hyolaryngeal excursion, following a lateral medullary stroke. Cognitive functions are within normal limits. Which of the following interventions would be the most appropriate recommendation for this client as an initial course of treatment for the underlying disorder? A.Thermotactile stimulation B.Mendelsohn maneuver C.Thickened liquids D.Chin-down posture (head/neck flexion): Mendelsohn Maneuver The Mendelsohn maneuver is the only one of the listed interventions designed and shown in research to prolong the duration and diameter of upper esophageal sphincter opening. 6. Which of the following views make up a standard videofluoroscopic swallow study?Select all that apply. Continues...
