What is the buccal sulci (anterior or lateral sulci).
100
Ineffective elevation and retraction of the velum could result in the bolus entering this space.
What is the nasopharynx.
100
Aspiration is defined as food residue that falls below the level of these structures.
What are the true vocal folds.
100
Hyposensitivity may interfere with stimulation (and subsequent triggering) of the swallow response - T or F
This is true.
100
When assessing a child who has oral motor weakness/incoordination, one must first ensure stability of this portion of the body.
What is the trunk/pelvis.
200
Reduced tongue tip strength might affect this swallowing skill.
What is scraping the hard palate or clearing the lips or clearing the buccal sulci.
200
Incomplete coverage of the laryngeal vestibule by the epiglottis can result in ___________ of food material.
What is penetration.
200
Food material which is penetrated will likely be aspirated if vocal fold _______ is incomplete.
What is adduction.
200
Sensory defensiveness may be an indicator of this sensory problem
What is hypersensitivity.
200
Motoric stability moves from central structures to _________ structures.
What is distal.
300
Reduced tongue strength or coordination might affect the ability to form a cohesive bolus - T or F
What is true
300
Epiglottic coverage of the laryngeal vestibule may be lessened if there is a problem with laryngeal _____________ .
What is elevation and anterior movement.
300
Aspiration is missed at bedside approximately ___________ of the time.
What is 40%
300
In evaluating sensitivity, one should introduce only one small change at a time to ensure this.
What is accurate evaluation of the effect of the change.
300
This bony structure supports the trunk in sitting.
What is the pelvis.
400
Reduced tongue strength and/or coordination would not affect on oral transit of the bolus - T or F
What is false. It likely will have a significant effect.
400
A problem in laryngeal elevation and anterior movement can lessen the amount of opening during cricopharyngeal ______________.
What is relaxation.
400
Identifying the presence of aspiration at bedside is confounded when this problem exists.
What is silent aspiration.
400
When working with a child who is hyposensitive, one will want to provide an environment which is relaxing/stimulating.
What is stimulating.
400
This bony structure supports the head and neck.
What is the shoulder girdle.
500
Reduced tongue strength and/or coordination can result in loss of control of the bolus (particularly liquids) and premature spillage before the swallow response is triggered - T or F
What is True.
500
If food residue is aspirated because of reduced cricopharyngeal opening, residue will spill into the laryngeal entrance from this space.
What is the pyriform sinus(es).
500
Assessing the presence of aspiration is sufficient for diagnostic and management purposes - T or F
This is false. We need to know why aspiration is occuring, for treatment planning.
500
One way to provide oral stimulation through food is to introduce these changes.
What are changes in temperature, taste and texture.
