AND CORRECT ANSWERS STUDY GUIDE
◉ Which of the following signs of dysphagia is the most common
oral-stage observation when assessing a patient with Parkinson's
Disease?
A. repeated non propulsive lingual movements
B. eating quickly and impulsively
C. spilling liquids out of mouth because of poor labial seal
D. holding food in mouth because of poor sensation Answer: A.
repeated non propulsive lingual movements
- lingual destination is very characteristic of patients with PD and
does not manifest in many other disorders
◉ Patient is a 77-year-old female with a left hemisphere stroke.
Sensorimotor clinical examination revealed right lower facial droop,
impaired oral sensation, absence of dentition, need for frequent
prompts to engage the patient in evaluation procedures, and
aphasia. Bedside swallow evaluation with pureed food and nectar-
thick liquids revealed food remnants in right lateral sulcus, drooling
from the right oral cavity, and intermittent cough that was not
present before the swallow evaluation. Prior medical history
includes COPDC O P D, diabetes, and congestive heart failure. Patient
does not want an instrumental examination.
,Based on the data above, which of the following is most likely to lead
to a clinically significant dysphagia-related adverse event?
A.Impaired oral sensorimotor function
B.Prior medical history
C.Impaired level of alertness
D.Aphasia Answer: C. impaired level of alertness
- it is extremely important that the patient is alert and as upright as
possible when addressing swallowing and trying out different foods
◉ List the order of which phonological awareness skills develops
first
A. listing words that start with the same sound
B. recognizing words that rhyme
C. counting syllables in single words
D. creating words by blending onset and rime Answer: B, C, D, A
- recognizing words hat rhyme occurs between 30 and 36 months
- counting syllables in single words occurs by 4 years of age
- blending words into rime occurs near 5 years of age
- listing words that start with the same sound occurs between 6 and
7 years of age
,◉ According to empirical research with people who stutter, which
TWO of the following are 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.
D.It most often occurs in the range of 6 to 9 years old Answer: A, C
- research findings indicate that the age of onset for stuttering
symptoms is somewhat earlier for girls than boys, and in most cases,
symptom onset occurs in the preschool years
◉ 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 Answer: D. 1.5
- an s/z ratio greater than 1.4 is indicative of possible laryngeal
pathology; the client was able to produce a longer sound when the
vocal folds were not involved, and the sound prolongation was less
when the vocal folds were involved
, ◉ An SLP must assess receptive language and expressive language in
a developing language learner. Which of the following standardized
assessments is best for each task?
PPVT: 1. Receptive language 2. Expressive language
CELF-P: 3. Receptive language 4. Expressive language
PLS-5: 5. receptive language 6. expressive language Answer: 1, 3, 4,
5, 6
- the PPVT is used to assess only receptive language skills
◉ Which of the following best represents an inter professional
treatment model?
A. the SLP designs an intervention plan to be implemented by an
SLPA
B. the SLP and general education teacher plan weekly language
activities that they deliver jointly to the classroom
C. the SLP conducts the evaluation and the team designs the
treatment program
D. Two district SLPs design language screening tools for the RTI
team Answer: B. the SLP and general education teacher plan weekly
language activities that they deliver jointly to the classroom
- this is the only option that involves two different professions
working together on the same area or issue
