SLP PRAXIS REVISION STUDY QUESTIONSCORRECTLY ANSWERED FOR EXAMS
FREQUENTLY TESTED.
A prospective client is described as 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
A. spastic dysphonia
B. acute laryngitis
C. vocal nodules
D. contact ulcers
Verified Answer -D. contact ulcers
Which of the following is a type of perturbation that can be measured to
determine the amount of noise in the voice?
A.Changes in the frequency range between F1 and F2 over time
B.Changes in the frequency range between F2 and F3 over time
C.F3 cycle-to-cycle variations in sound energy over time
D.F0 cycle-to-cycle variations in sound energy over time
Verified Answer -D.F0 cycle-to-cycle variations in sound energy over time
Perturbation is a disturbance in the quality of the laryngeal tone, or fundamental
frequency, of the voice.
Which of the following describes an important diagnostic distinction between
apraxia of speech and dysarthria?
,A.Apraxia of speech is a result of lower motor neuron lesions, whereas dysarthria
is the result of upper motor neuron lesions.
B.Clients with apraxia of speech lack the ability to monitor reactive speech,
whereas clients with dysarthria lack the ability to sequence volitional speech
movements.
C.Strength and coordination of the speech musculature are intact in clients with
apraxia of speech, whereas slowness, weakness, incoordination, or altered tone
of the speech musculature are associated with dysarthria.
D.Apraxia of speech is characterized by distortions, omissions, and substitutions,
whereas dysarthria is characterized by inconsistent, highly variable
misarticulations.
Verified Answer -C.Strength and coordination of the speech musculature are
intact in clients with apraxia of speech, whereas slowness, weakness,
incoordination, or altered tone of the speech musculature are associated with
dysarthria.
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder characterized by slowness, weakness,
incoordination, or altered tone of the speech production mechanism. The
definition of apraxia includes the absence of any deficits in strength, tone, or
coordination and rather is characterized by deficits in motor planning and/or
programming of speech.
Ms. Helene, a 60-year-old woman with a suspected neurological disorder, is
referred for speech-language evaluation. She achieves a score of 35/50 on a
measure of confrontation object-naming ability. This score is below norms
established for individuals of her age and educational level. Based on these
results alone, which of the following statements can most reliably be made about
Ms. Helene's disorder?
A.She has anomic aphasia, which might or might not be associated with other
language deficits.
,B.She has aphasia, but the type of aphasia cannot be specified on the basis of this
test score alone.
C.She does not have aphasia but probably does have a memory disturbance.
D.She has difficulty with naming, but the precise nature of the deficit cannot be
determined on the basis of this test score alone.
Verified Answer -D.She has difficulty with naming, but the precise nature of the
deficit cannot be determined on the basis of this test score alone.
A 67-year-old male patient with no history of swallowing problems has undergone
a cardiothoracic surgical procedure. Postoperatively, he is found to be aspirating
while swallowing and is diagnosed with a left vocal-fold paralysis and left
pharyngeal paresis. Which of the following is the most likely etiology?
A.An intraoperative CVA in the right pons
B.Damage to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve
C.Damage to the left recurrent laryngeal nerve
D.A left hemispheric stroke
Verified Answer -C.Damage to the left recurrent laryngeal nerve
The left recurrent laryngeal nerve courses under the aortic arch in its course back
to innervate the left larynx and the inferior pharynx. The nerve can be damaged in
cardiothoracic operations including aortic arch or valve repairs. Only the left (and
not the right) recurrent laryngeal nerve has this course.
A 67-year-old male patient with no history of swallowing problems has undergone

intraoperative CVA in the right ponsB.Damage to the right recurrent laryngeal
nerveC.Damage to the left recurrent laryngeal nerveD.A left hemispheric stroke
, Option (C) is correct. The left recurrent laryngeal nerve courses under the aortic
arch in its course back to innervate the left larynx and the inferior pharynx. The
nerve can be damaged in cardiothoracic operations including aortic arch or valve
repairs. Only the left (and not the right) recurrent laryngeal nerve has this course.
A team of SLPs is evaluating whether a new language intervention is suitable for
use with children who are on their caseload.
Verified Answer -Options (A), (B), and (C) are correct. The use of a single-group
pretest-posttest design is a limitation because there is inadequate control of
internal and external validity without a control group. The absence of a control
group is a limitation because control groups are a way of introducing control and
can better isolate the effect of the treatment. Furthermore, since it is a
longitudinal study, improvement based on language development cannot be ruled
out.
Which of the following muscles produces the opposing action to those that
produce velopharyngeal closure?
A.Musculus uvulaeB
.Levator veli palatini
C.Palatoglossus
D.Stylopharyngeus
Verified Answer -C.Palatoglossus
Velopharyngeal closure is largely produced by soft palate elevation, and the only
muscle in the list that produces soft palate depression (the opposite of soft
palate elevation) is the palatoglossus.
A 9-month-old child was observed during a speech-language evaluation. To
express herself, the child occasionally touched her mother, gained eye contact,
and then gestured toward an object. If the child's development is normal, within
the next month or so the child will begin to
