None of the above are true.
2. A person with severe nasal congestion might exhibit:
nasal regurgitation during the swallow
reduced lip seal during the oral phase
reduced velar elevation
excessive velar elevation
3. Premature loss of the bolus during chewing is normal.
True
False
4. Premature loss of liquid or paste into the pharynx is indicative of: (check all that apply)
reduced lip closure
reduced tongue control
inappropriate velar positioning
delayed swallow reflex
5. A patient with reduced buccal tone may demonstrate (check all that apply)
material pooling in the lateral sulci
material pooling in the anterior sulcus
reduced bolus control
premature delivery
6. Scar tissue on the tongue may result in:
pooling in the lateral sulci
delayed initiation of the swallow
retention on the surface of the tongue
aspiration after the swallow
7. Repetitive tongue rolling is characteristic of:
apraxia of the swallow
reduced sensation
brain stem dysfunction
Parkinson's disease
Huntington's disease
8. When material is propelled by the tongue into the valleculae prior to initiation of the pharyngeal swallow, it is called
premature delivery
delayed swallow reflex
vallecular retention
9. Vallecular retention may result from (check all that apply)
reduced tongue strength
reduced laryngeal elevation
reduced CP dilation
reduced vocal fold adduction
reduced epiglottic inversion
10. A delayed swallow reflex places a person at risk for aspiration: (check all that apply)
before the swallow
during the swallow
after the swallow
11. Reduced laryngeal elevation places a person at risk for aspiration: (check all that apply)
before the swallow
during the swallow
after the swallow
12. Reduced CP dilation places a person at risk for aspiration: (check all that apply)
before the swallow
during the swallow
after the swallow
13. A partial laryngectomy involving removal of the epiglottis (as well as other structures) is termed:
hemilaryngectomy
supraglottic laryngectomy
14. The most prevalent swallowing problem following TBI and stroke is:
reduced bolus control
premature delivery
delayed swallow reflex
pharyngeal retention
aspiration during the swallow
15. Food agnosia refers to:
reduced taste sensation
failure to recognize food
denial of swallowing difficulties
silent aspiration
16. Patients with ALS will be more likely to exhibit swallowing difficulties with:
corticobulbar involvement
corticospinal involvement
both are equally likely to exhibit swallowing impairments
17. Patients with Parkinon's Disease may exhibit (check all that apply)
lingual festination
delayed swallow reflex
aspiration before the swallow
aspiration after the swallow
