Peds Lab Final Exam Study Practice
Questions
1. • Involves the setup of food items, managing food containers, and bringing the food and drink to
the mouth.: feeding
2. Involves the child maintaining and manipulating food and fluids placed in the mouth and then
swallowing.: eating
3. A complex act in which food, fluid, medication, or saliva is moved from the mouth through the
pharynx and the esophagus, and into the stomach: swal- lowing
4. Reported in 70% to 80% in children with diagnoses such as: CP and devel- opmental delay
5. Reported in 40% to 70% of: premature infants
6. Reported in 10% to 20% of all: healthy and typically developing children
7. Children can develop feeding difficulties due to the following factors:: • Medical • Oral •
Sensorimotor • Behavioral
8. common med conditions associated with feeding difficulties: • Prematurity
• Neuromuscular Abnormalities • Structural Malformations • Gastrointestinal Con- ditions •
Visual Impairments • Tracheostomies • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
¬ Has a high prevalence of feeding difficulties due to sensory, motor, and behavior challenges
9. signs and symp of swallowing difficulties: • History of aspiration pneumonia and chest
infections

, • Frequent fevers
• Coughing/choking during feeding
• Wet voice or breath sounds during feeding
• Diagnosed Vocal Cord Palsy
• Drop in O2 or HR during feeding
• Poor weight gain
• Poor secretion control
• Increased wheezing during feeding
10.¬Lips, hard and soft palates, tongue, fat pads of cheeks, upper and lower jaws, teeth
¬Contains the food during drinking and chewing and provides for initial mastication before
swallowing: oral cavity
11.¬Base of tongue, buccinator, oropharynx, tendons, and hyoid bone
¬Funnels food into the esophagus and allows food and air to share space; the pharynx is a space
common to both functions: pharynx
12.¬Epiglottis and the vocal folds
¬Valve to the trachea that closes during swallowing: larynx
13.¬Tube below the larynx supported by cartilaginous rings
¬Allows air to flow into the bronchi and lungs: Trachea
14.¬Thin and muscular esophagus
¬Carries food from the pharynx through the diaphragm and into the stomach; collapses at rest and
