An SLP works with a 4-year-old patient diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The
patient is nonverbal, does not have a functional communication system, and does not follow
,simple directions. Which of the following communicative target goals is most appropriate for
the SLP to prioritize for the patient?
A.Matching identical pictures in an array of pictures
B.Requesting wants in any modality
C.Labeling of common items verbally
D.Imitating a sequence of two actions
B
A 75-year-old patient with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease underwent a
three-vessel coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The patient needed to be intubated for three
days following surgery. After extubation, the medical team requested a swallow consultation
to determine if it was safe for the patient to take oral medications and initiate oral nutrition.
Based on the patient's condition, which of the following assessment procedures is most
appropriate for an SLP to practice?
A.Administering a clinical bedside swallow evaluation and recommending an oral diet as
there were no clinical signs or symptoms of aspiration during the evaluation
B.Deferring the evaluation for 24 hours because the patient was just extubated to allow a
possible improvement in the patient's swallow function before evaluation
C.Completing a clinical bedside swallow evaluation to determine patient readiness for an
instrumental evaluation and then completing the instrumental evaluation if the patient is
ready
D.Determining any preexisting dysphagia with the patient and the patient's family; if there is
no history of dysphagia, recommending to advance the patient's diet
C, Option (C) is correct. Several studies using instrumental assessment have concluded that
some patients recover airway protection and swallow function within 24 hours of extubation
and others much later than 24 hours post-extubation following prolonged endotracheal
intubation, suggesting that a 24-hour "deferral time" benchmark is not particularly useful.
Which of the following procedures is most important for an SLP to consider when assessing
the social aspect of a school-age child's communication skills?
A.Collecting a language sample to assess narrative skills
B.Assessing expressive vocabulary used by the child on a picture vocabulary test
C.Observing the child interacting with peers in natural settings, such as during recess
, D.Looking for a discrepancy between the child's IQI Q and communication skills to
determine eligibility
C
A study is conducted to determine how well a dysphagia screening test predicts aspiration
that is later confirmed with a videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSSV F S S). The study
results are presented in the table below.
(Top left) Failed Screen/Aspiration: 45
(Bottom left) Passed Screen/Aspiration: 5
(Top right) Failed Screen/No Asp: 20
(Bottom right) Passed Screen/No Asp: 30
Which THREE of the following statements about this dysphagia screening test are true?
A.The screening test's sensitivity is 90%
B.The screening test's sensitivity is 69%
C.The screening test's specificity is 90%
D.The screening test's specificity is 60%
E.The number of false negatives was 5
F.The number of false negatives was 20
A, D, E, Options (A), (D), and (E) are correct. The screening test's sensitivity is the
proportion of patients who aspirated and failed the screen (top cell in the first column) to the
total of all patients who aspirated on the VFSS (total of the first column); therefore, 45/50 =
0.9045 divided by 50, equals 0.90. The screening test's specificity is the proportion of
patients who did not aspirate and passed the screen (bottom cell in the second column) to the
total of all patients who did not aspirate on the VFSSV F S S (total of second column);
therefore, 30/50 = 0.6030 divided by 50, equals 0.60. False negatives are patients who passed
the screen who actually aspirated on the VFSSV F S S (bottom cell of first column).

Which TWO of the following statements about the results of a screening test are correct?
A.Sensitivity is the proportion of people who fail the screening test who are aspirators
B.Specificity is the proportion of people who pass the screening test who are aspirators
C.Sensitivity is the proportion of people who pass the screening test who are not aspirators
D.Specificity is the proportion of people who pass the screening test who are not aspirators
A, D
During a speech-language evaluation at a preschool, a child has difficulty with receptive
language tasks and responds with only one-word utterances to expressive language items.
The child's eye contact is poor throughout the session. When observed with the other children
in class, the child does not engage with peers but prefers self-stimulating behaviors such as
flapping arms and throwing papers up in the air. According to the child's teacher, these are
typical behaviors for the child. Given the data obtained, which of the following steps is most
appropriate for the SLP to take next?
A.Engaging in an inter-professional practice (IPP) to determine the appropriate diagnosis of
ASDA S D
B.Conducting the full evaluation when the child is more cooperative so that accurate
recommendations can be made
C.Initiating expressive language therapy to focus on expanding conversational utterances
D.Training the teacher to deliver language stimulation tasks because the child does not
respond well to the SLP
A
As part of a routine preschool screening, an SLP tests a 4 year old whose speech is
characterized by sound omissions, hypernasality, nasal emission, and weak consonants.
Which of the following would be most appropriately evaluated initially?
A.Oral-motor behavior
B.Velopharyngeal function
C.Laryngeal function
