*Ms. Brown, a 70-year-old retired female, was admitted to the hospital following a CVA. The SLP
conducted a comprehensive evaluation that revealed the presence of left-side neglect, anosognosia
(denial of impairment), and visuospatial problems, including prosopagnosia (difficulty recognizing
familiar faces). Although her auditory comprehension and repetition skills were good, she experienced
difficulty with topic maintenance and turn taking. Based on the clinical features described, Ms. Brown's
diagnostic classification would most likely be...*
A. Wernicke's aphasia
B. Conduction aphasia
C. Cognitive-communicative disorder consistent with right hemisphere damage
D. Cognitive-communicative disorder consistent with left hemisphere damage - ✔✔*C.
Cognitive-communicative disorder consistent with right hemisphere damage*
*A client exhibits weakness, atrophy, and fasciculations of the right side of the tongue and lower
face. The client also has 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*
(These symptoms are 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.)
*Which of the following constitutes the major component of an audiologic rehab program for
infants with a moderate sensorineural hearing loss?*
A. Developemnt of cognitive skills
B. Development of social skills
,C. Parent-mediated auditory stimulation
D. Gestural stimulation - ✔✔*C. Parent-mediated auditory stimulation*
(Parents are in the best position to provide consistent auditory stimulation, which the infant needs in
order to develop an awareness of sound.)
*A child exhibits the following production errors: w/r, th/s, t/sh, t/ch, z/dz, t/k, and d/g. If a target sound
for initial intervention is to be selected on the basis of established developmental norms, then that
sound will be...*
A. /s/
B. /sh/
C. /k/
D. /ch/ - ✔✔*C. /k/*
*A public-school-based SLP is employed in a state that sets the max caseload at 65. However, the
clinician's caseload is currently at 64 with a waiting list of 10 additional students. The school principal
insists that the SLP enroll the 10 students immediately, because the district cannot locate another
clinician to assist with the caseload. Which of the following is the most appropriate way for the SLP to
address the situation?*
A. Enroll 1 of the 10 students and provide the principal with a written statement of caseload needs,
mentioning the amount, type, and frequency of treatment.
B. Refer the 10 students to a SLP working in a private setting.
C. Suggest that the principal ask a school SLP from another school district to take the 10 students.
D. Maintain current caseload until an additional SLP is hired. - ✔✔*A. Enroll 1 of the 10 students
and provide the principal with a written statement of caseload needs, mentioning the amount, type,
and frequency of treatment.*
(It provides the principal with a statement detailing the needs of the students awaiting treatment but
also observes the state's caseload limit.)
*Fiber-optic instrumentation is appropriate for evaluation of which of the following types of disorders?*
A. articulation
B. phonation
C. proprioception
,D. respiration - ✔✔*B. phonation*
(Fiber-optic nasopharyngoscopy or laryngoscopy is a commonly used approach to evaluate vocal fold
anatomy and physiology for voice production.)
*Which of the following views make up a standard videofluoroscopic swallow study?* (Select all that
apply)
A. frontal
B. lateral
C. transverse
D. anterior-posterior - ✔✔*B. lateral & D. anterior-posterior*
(A lateral view is best for seeing all stages of the swallow, and an anterior-posterior view shows the
symmetry (or asymmetry) of the swallow.)
*Hearing loss in infants who are born with a cleft palate is usually related to which of the following?*
A. The infant's inability to create positive pressure in the oral cavity.
B. Malformation of the middle-ear ossicles associated with malformation fo the palate.
C. Eustachian tube dysfunction
D. Cochlear dysfunction - ✔✔*C. Eustachian tube dysfunction*
(Eustachian tube dysfunction, a major factor contributing to middle-ear disease and conductive hearing
loss, is nearly universal in infants with cleft palate.)
*Which of the following, if observed in the speech of an African American child, is most likely
to represent a dialectical variation rather than an articulation error?*
A. /f/ for /th/ in postvocalic position
B. /th/ for /s/ in all positions
C. affricates for fricatives in word-final position
D. dentals for velars in word-intial position - ✔✔*A. /f/ for /th/ in postvocalic position*
(The use of voiceless labiodental fricatives for voiceless interdental fricatives is a feature of African
American Vernacular English-AAVE.)
, *Children diagnosed as having specific language impairments are likely to exhibit the greatest deficits in
which of the following?*
A. production of sentences with appropriate inflectional morphology and syntax.
B. acquisition of word meanings
C. comprehension of short sentences
D. motoric aspects of written expression - ✔✔*A. production of sentences with appropriate
inflectional morphology and syntax.*
*A 5-year-old girl with a repaired cleft palate has recently undergone a pharyngeal flap operation to
correct velopharyngeal incompetence, but she continues to use glottal stops, pharyngeal fricatives, and
mid-dorsum palatal stops. Which of the following is the most appropriate action for the SLP to take?*
A. Recommending that the child be examined by a cleft palate team to determine the cause of the
persistent articular errors.
B. Referring the child back to the surgeon to determine the need for a revision of the pharyngeal flap.
C. Initiating articulation treatment to teach the correct placement for the stops and fricatives.
D. Initiating articulation treatment to teach correct production of nonpressure consonant sounds. -
✔✔*C. Initiating articulation treatment to teach the correct placement for the stops and fricatives.*
(This child is using compensatory glottal stops, mid-dorsum palatal stops, and pharyngeal fricatives for
SAE stops and fricatives. She has had surgical management to correct velopharyngeal incompetence.
She now needs to learn to produce the stops and fricatives for which she is making compensations.
Therefore, articulation treatment is appropriate.)
*The major objective of auditory training in the treatment of a client with a hearing loss is to...*
A. improve the client's awareness of position and movements of speech mechanism.
B. improve the client's kinesthetic and auditory awareness.
C. increase the client's kinesthetic and proprioceptive discrimination.
D. teach the client to make discriminations among speech sounds. - ✔✔*D. teach the client to
make discriminations among speech sounds.*
*A 70-year-old female has dysphagia characterized by poor posterior oral containment of the bolus
