CSD 417 TEST 1 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
what are the areas that ASHA SLPs are supposed to know? - ANSWER -Anatomy and
Physiological processes
-Psychological and Social Mechanisms
-Physical Processes in producing sound, and acoustic perception
-Conditions of developmental or acquired nature, that affect communication
-Environmental factors related to communication
-The effects of communication and swallowing problems on individuals, their
environments, family and society
what is the differences between normal SLP thinking and Medical thinking? - ANSWER
medical: prioritizes surgery and or pharmacological solutions
SLPs: generally look more into behavioral and distinct physiological treatment
approaches to patient management
what are the medical approaches and medical thinkings similar to SLP thinking? -
ANSWER find a cause and what symptoms it has to correctly treat it, is not at all
representative for all aspects of speech language pathology and in fact in some
scenarios has been considered a problem
what is a school of thought for SLPs? - ANSWER The notion that there are causes to
problems, and understanding them can be helpful for all of SLP, but in my opinion is
most relevant for medically involved communication disorders, while in other sectors
the knowledge to know the exact cause would be less important
there is a separate type of SLPs who are thinking more medically because of the fact
that their targeted clinical practice involves medical problems that affect
communication and importantly, these problems are often treated in medical
environments. In other words, this school of thought considers that medical and
non-medical SLPs are different. Any problem that happens in communication should
have a cause.
b. the other school views that there is a need for all speech language pathologists to at
least include a medical approach to communication problems. Some believe the SLP
way of thinking is wrong.
what is the continuum of care in medical speech-language pathology? - ANSWER
intensive care unit (ICU) (on ventilators, not conscious, partially conscious, and
problems with talking in a variety of ways. Need to find ways for the patient to
communicate) and acute care in hospitals and other strictly medical facilities (bed side
,screenings, potentials for thinking, AAC, write/read, treat a little bit if it is possible);
outpatient clinics (better functioning clients), rehabilitation settings, home care, nursing
(long term care) homes, or hospice (incredible need to communicate even at the end of
life)
Clinicians need to be very aware of rapid changes in knowledge and clinical practice
involving swallowing and communication across these settings, and coexisting medical
problems. While in acute care facilities our role is predominantly "consultant"-
explaining what the issue is; in long(er) term care facilities, rather, we work one-on-one
with individual clients while improving functional communication or swallowing
why do SLPs define themselves to what the specialize in? - ANSWER This parallels the
so-called Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of ASHA that are working on unique
specialization requirements to become specialist (e.g. a swallowing specialist). We can't
do EVERYTHING because there are a few areas that we are not specialists in. Can use
devices (scopes), but we cannot do diagnostics. ENTs do the diagnostics because they
have stricter rules and regulations.
what are some unique procedures and competencies to medical speech language
pathology? - ANSWER It assumes specific skills if you are going to be involved in
video-fluoroscopic evaluations and endoscopy. It brings with it unique skills in terms of
dealing with (a) potential medical risks in doing these things as well as (b) how to
discuss and interpret results that can be obtained with them
what are some practice trends of speech language pathology? - ANSWER 31% of time
spent on clients with dysphagia and 50% of time spent on cognitive and linguistic
aspects; 66% of clinicians received referrals for AAC solutions; 45% spent time in
training and supervision; most of this in acute and rehabilitative settings
what is the part of medical SLPs with the consultative practice model? - ANSWER Be
able to explain to the client/family what is going on. Also speak with the client about
what is going on and have to document it IMMEDIATELY.
what is the part of medical SLPs that higher demand of use of technology? - ANSWER
important professional technological additions are: knowing how to use the Electronic
Medical Record -EMR- which will improve interconnectedness of medical departments
and staff, this is likely to bring in new skill requirements and ways of working with this
technology; Clinical Applications or "Apps" with improvements in scope and degrees of
mobility; and Telehealth/Telepractice
what are some ethical issues in medical practice? - ANSWER Ethical practice refers to
the application of standards of service delivery. The standards include avoiding
misrepresentation of services, performing only those activities for which one is
qualified, adhering to preferred practice patterns, and providing service in the best
interest of the patient. Medical environment, closer to ethical thinking than in any other
area in Speech-Language Pathology. Decide what to do in minutes where there could be
MAJOR consequences. Our code of ethics is online with ASHA.
, what must a medical SLP also have to work in a medical setting? - ANSWER team work
skills
what is the issue with reimbursement? - ANSWER the need to cut costs where possible,
and the need to deal with ever changing funding mechanisms
what is the ASHA code of ethic's first guiding principle? - ANSWER I... hold paramount
the welfare of persons they serve professionally (with clients) or who are participants in
research (must have ethics during research) and scholarly activities (things done in
classrooms, collect data in a classroom, endoscopy lab, etc.).
what is the ASHA code of ethic's second guiding principle? - ANSWER II... achieve and
maintain the highest level of professional competence and performance. (must have
knowledge on the information, as well as have the correct skills to perform what you
know).
what is the ASHA code of ethic's third guiding principle? - ANSWER III... the public by
promoting public understanding of the professions, by supporting the development of
services designed to fulfill the unmet needs of the public, and by providing accurate
information in all communications involving any aspect of the professions including the
dissemination of research findings and scholarly activities, and the promotion,
marketing, and advertising of products and services.
what is the ASHA code of ethic's fourth guiding principle? - ANSWER IV... the
professions (speech-language pathology) and, their relationships with colleagues,
students and members of other professions and disciplines (occupational therapist,
other teachers, etc.). must conduct ourselves the best we can.
what must an SLP follow for ethical guidance? - ANSWER All members of ASHA abide by
ASHA's Code of Ethics. All members will report observed violations of the code by fellow
members to the Board of Ethics
State credentialing regulations (Licensing) also include reference to adhering to a code
of ethics and those codes are typically based on the ASHA code of ethics
what are the ideals of the American medical association? - ANSWER competence and
compassion
professionalism and honesty
respect for the law and for the rights of patients, colleagues, and other professionals
and the pursuit of learning and new science
where should SLPs also get ethical guidance? - ANSWER the oldest professions, the
ethical guidelines observed by members of the American Medical Association (AMA)
often serve as models for the development of codes of ethics for newer professions.
The APA (American Phycological Association) has adopted language from the medical
code of ethics. This in turn filtered down to the Code of Ethics in our profession.
