Foundations and professional practice
What is the Vagus Nerve?
It's the best action to take initially with a client who present with poor oral control of liquids and solids, coughing and choking while eating/drinking, and a HX of hospitalizations associated with pneumonia?
What is a modified barium swallow study?
It's weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, and the other described symptoms are all consistent with a LMN locus and suspected cranial nerve abnormalities (primarily CN X and XII). These cranial nerves emerge directly from the brain steam and help mediate the transfer of messages from the brain to the brain stem and to the structures of the head and neck.
What is a brain stem lesion?
It's the major component of an audiologic rehabiliation program for infants with a moderate sensorineural hearing loss?
What is parent-mediated auditory stimulation?
It's what's most likely to help a client who has aphonia.
What is phonation through coughing or throat clearing?
It's a commonly used approach to evaluate vocal fold anatomy and physiology for voice production (phonation)
What is fiber-optic nasopharyngoscopy or laryngoscopy?
A number of research reports have describe poor auditory memory in children with language impairments. Which of the following can most appropriately be concluded from these studies?
Poor auditory memroy could be a reflection or cause a lang. impairment, or could be related to some other factor, and further research is needed to determine which is the cause.
It's the major objective of auditory training in the treatment of a client with a hearing loss.
What is to teach the client to discriminate speech sounds?
What is changing distorded beliefs about self-efficacy and the need to speak with complete fluency?
It's an appropriate treatment (strategies/approaches) for apraxia of speech.
What is auditory-visual stimluation, oral motor repetition, and phonetic placement?
It's the views that make up a standard videoflouroscopic swallow study.
What is lateral and anterior-posterior?
It's the best rationale for using standardized, norm-referenced instruments to assess speech-language pathology.
What enables clinician's to understand make informed statements about how a client's performance compares with the performance of other people?
It's a man in his forties who is under chronic stress. He uses his voice extensively in daily life has a hard-driving personality, and exhibits glottal fry. The client has the classic profile of a person at high risk for.
What is contact ulcers?
It's the muscles that produec opposing action to those that produce velopharyngeal closure.
It's the primary muscle that is responsible for vocal fold abduction.
What is the posterior cricoarytenoid? (PCA)
It's hearing loss in infants who are born with a cleft palate is usually related to.
It's an accurate statement about whispered speech.
What is aperiodic sounds?
It's a description that distinguishes apraxia of speech and dysarthria.
What is the slowness, weakness, incoordination, or altered tone of the speech muscles with dysarthria, where in apraxia the speech muscles are intact?
It's a communication (neuro) disorder that is most frequently associated with significant dysphagia.
It's two contributing factors that opens the UES. (think of the pharyngeal stage of swallow)
What is partial relaxation of the cricopharyngeal portion of the inferior constrictor muscle and superior and anterior hyolaryngeal excursion?
It's a Spanish native speaker with fair profiency in English, who produces "chuz" for "shoes" on a repetitio task is most likely due to?
What is phonological interference from the speakers native language?
It's a type of cerebral palsy that is characterized by slow, arrhythmic writhing and involuntary movements of the extremeties.
What is Athethosis?
It's the area that needs to be evaluated first for a 5 yr old who says "pun" for spoon and "top" for soap.
What is phonology/phonological system?
It's the ratio of reinforcement that will most quickly cause a newly acquired behavior to be habituated.
What is a random ratio of tokens to correct responses?
It's laborious, halting, telegraphic utterances that are typical fo clients with which type of aphasia.
What is transcortical motor aphasia?
