C.Nasometry measurements
D.Aerodynamics - ANS-A.Nasopharyngoscopy

A 23 YO client recently completed an intensive 3 week summer program for stuttering
and now has stuttering symptoms on fewer than 3% of syllables during both in-clinic
conversations with SLP and beyond-clinic conversations with family. The SLP is
concerned that client might relapse now that intervention has ended and wishes to
enact a plan to help client maintain fluency gains. Which of the following plans is the
most likely to result in maintenance of the fluency gains?
A.Recommending that the client participate in an annual intensive review of stuttering
management skills
B.Recommending that the client practice fluency management skills during monthly
telephone calls with the SLP
C.Ensuring the client understands the need for continued use of stuttering management
techniques and referring to a local SLP for ongoing treatment
D.Scheduling the client for reenrollment in the intensive 3-week-long intervention
program - ANS-C.Ensuring the client understands the need for continued use of
stuttering management techniques and referring to a local SLP for ongoing
treatment
Continuing to regularly participate in scheduled intervention activities under the
direction or supervision of an SLP is essential to maintaining fluency gains. It
provides a client with the opportunity to address ongoing fluency challenges or
new ones that may arise after completion of the intensive intervention program.
This type of continued treatment does not necessarily imply that the client must
participate in ongoing weekly or intensive intervention.
Which of the following best distinguishes a dialect from an accent?

B.Differences in pronunciation only
C.Differences due to the influence of a second language

true regarding the age of symptom onset for most cases?
A.It is usually earlier for girls than for boys.
B.It is similar for girls and boys.
C.It most often occurs in the range of 2 to 5 years old.

Which of the following should an SLP recommend to best help a patient who has
advanced to late stages of dementia of the Alzheimer's type?
A.Group treatment to maintain or assist with the patient's conversational intelligibility
B.Individual treatment to maintain the patient's recall of salient vocabulary words
C.Individual treatment to develop memory compensations
D.Assistance from caregivers to facilitate the patient's daily communication needs -
ANS-D.Assistance from caregivers to facilitate the patient's daily communication
needs
In the late stages of dementia of the Alzheimer's type, the most appropriate
intervention is to engage caregivers as facilitators of clients' communication of
wants and needs. Restorative treatment is not a goal at this stage.
6 months ago, an SLP evaluated 4 YO Molly's fluency during conversation. she
displayed relaxed repetitions of words and phrases and interjections such as "um". She
did not display any sound prolongations or facial grimaces, any pitch rises or phonatory
break, and didn't avoid any sounds or words. Results from several tests suggested that
her articulation and language development were within normal limits. Molly began
producing repetitions and interjections at 24 months, and frequency of these disfluency
types has remained stable since then. SLP did not recommend ST following the
previous evaluation; but did provide parents with info about fluency development,
symptoms of stuttering, and suggestions for how to facilitate fluency. A reevaluation is
scheduled for next week. Which of the following is most appropriate for the SLP to do if
Molly's speech fluency has remained the same since the previous evaluation? - ANS-
A.Recommend that Molly immediately begin fluency therapy, in which the focus
,is on reducing the frequency of repetitions and interjections in her conversational
speech
B.Recommend that Molly be released from the SLP's active caseload
C.Recommend that Molly be referred for psychological counseling, with a focus
on helping Molly improve speech fluency by learning how to manage anxiety
more effectively
D.Recommend monthly evaluations of Molly's speech fluency until she is five
years old
B.Recommend that Molly be released from the SLP's active caseload
Molly's fluency development was within normal limits at the previous evaluation,
and, based on the parents' report, it also seemed to be within normal limits at age
2. Further, no other concerns about Molly's communication development were
mentioned in the scenario. Thus, it appears that Molly has never stuttered and her
communication skills have been and continue to be within normal limits.
Therefore, it is unnecessary to reevaluate her speech or enroll her in fluency
therapy.
Which of the following assessment descriptions represents an s/z ratio that is indicative
of a vocal pathology?
A.1.0
B.1.1
C.1.3
D.1.5 - ANS-D.1.5
An s/zs slash z ratio greater than 1.4 is indicative of possible laryngeal pathology.
An s/zs slash z ratio greater than 1 means the client prolonged the /s/forward
slash s forward slash phoneme longer than the /z/forward slash z forward slash
phoneme. In other words the client was able to produce a longer sound when the
vocal folds were not involved, and sound prolongation was less when the vocal
folds were involved.
SLPs often have a responsibility to communicate with the parents of children with
severe disabilities. According to mourning theory, when are parents normally most
receptive to information and advice provided by professionals regarding their child?
A.When the parents are working through their feelings about the child's disabilities
B.When the parents fully realize the extent of the child's disabilities and the limitations of
treatment and education
C.When the parents have acquired greater confidence in their capacity to care for the
child and greater motivation to cope with the child's disabilities
D.When the parents are making decisions regarding future care and protection of the
child - ANS-C.When the parents have acquired greater confidence in their capacity
to care for the child and greater motivation to cope with the child's disabilities
According to mourning theory, a grieving person is most receptive to new
information about the source of grief after having just entered the recovery stage.
, An SLP who has worked for two years with a 5-year-old child with severe apraxia of
speech decides to pursue AAC options for the child. Which of the following is necessary
to determine the appropriate AAC system to select?
A.A complete inventory of the child's fine and gross motor function
B.A complete language evaluation and inventory
C.An ophthalmological examination
D.A series of phonological awareness tests - ANS-B.A complete language evaluation
and inventory
A language evaluation and inventory must be completed to properly determine
the correct AAC system to use with this patient.
Which of the following best represents an interprofessional treatment model?
A.The SLP designs an intervention plan to be implemented by an SLP assistant.
B.The SLP and general education teacher plan weekly language activities that they

D.Two district SLPs design language screening tools for the Response to Intervention

This is the only option that involves two different professions working together on the
same area or issue.
Which of the following conditions is singularly caused by a genetic abnormality?
A.Cleft lip and palate
B.Specific language impairment
C.Prader-Willi syndrome
D.Cerebral palsy - ANS-C.Prader-Willi syndrome

An 82-year-old female patient is admitted to a SNF after acute stay. Her diagnoses
include UTI, hip fracture, and COPD No surgery was required for the hip fracture.
Before the hospital, she was living independently and able to complete all ADLs and
iADLs on her own. She is referred to the SLP for cognitive screening because she has
difficulty carrying over new information, confusion regarding weight-bearing status, and
difficulty processing directions. The SLP administers the MoCA, and the patient scores
17/30. The patient's main deficits are in the areas of short-term memory, executive
functioning, and planning.
After the patient is appropriately treated both medically and therapeutically, cognitive
deficits remain and the interdisciplinary team does not recommend that the patient
return home independently. The patient's family is frustrated with this recommendation
and seeks input from other sources. - ANS-Which of the following treatment procedures
is most appropriate for the patient?
A.Engaging in spaced retrieval
B.Naming divergent items
C.Following specific directions
