Dysphagia Exam 3 Questions and Answers
1. dysphagia intervention must take into account:
for safe oral intake
adequacy of / to meet caloric needs: airway protection
nutrition/hydration
2. intervention (patient level of participation): 2 types: active, passive
3. intervention that asks the person to do something: active
4. intervention that involves altering environment: passive
5. approach-specific treatment options (overview of interventions): 3 areas: -
medical, surgical, behavioral
6. medical treatment options: pharmacological, special diet
7. surgical treatment options: collagen injections (medial compression), laryngec-
tomy (prevent aspiration)
PES dilation, myotomy
8. behavioral treatment options: SLP
texture modification, modify feeding activity, patient modification, mechanism
modi- fication, swallow modification
9. thickening liquid and/or blending/chopping food: texture modification
10. straw diameter, modulate sip size through flow-controlled nipple for infant-

, Dysphagia Exam 3 Questions and Answers
: modify feeding activity
11.posture or position: patient modification
12. NMES, exercises to improve motor function, prosthetic management: -
mechanism modification
13.change "how" we swallow (e.g., effortful swallow): swallow modification
14.patient-specific considerations: diagnosis/prognosis, comorbidities, cogni-
tive-linguistic abilities, eating history, caregiver factors
15.approaches to treatment: 2 types: indirect, direct
16.no liquid or food: indirect
17.intervention executed with liquid or solid bolus: direct
18.purpose or intent of intervention: 2 types: compensate, rehabilitative
19.short-term adjustment (no lasting impact to swallow physiology), address- es the
immediate swallow: compensate
20.compensatory strategies and postural changes relate to : compen-
satory
21.changing the swallow physiology in a positive way (biomechanical events), changes
are long lasting but take more time to establish: rehabilitative
22.healthy eating/drinking relates to prevention: primary
23.high risk populations of concern relates to prevention: secondary
24.avoiding/minimizing negative outcomes from current impairments relates to
