Q

True/false: Many swallow exercises and maneuvers can be done using the sEMG device?

A

True

36
Q

False

41
Q

Q

Define approach: This theory is based on a tension b/t individual freedom of choice and aspects of existence, such as responsibility, death, loneliness, and meaninglessness of the universe

A

existential approach

43
Q

How could denial of impairments be dangerous for some patients?

A

This can lead to prolonged difficulties, poorer QOL, malnutrition, less motivation to eat/engage with others, etc.

44
Q

A

it is important to consider the sources of a patient’s anger due to surface response to underlying feelings of fear or dread.

45
Q

Name 3 counseling tips.

A

tone of voice, active listening, empathy, respect, perspective-taking, non-verbal communication, consistent communication, non-blaming language, clear statements, and appropriate question types.

increased enjoyment eating food

47
Q

True/false: When your client is feeling anxious, you should ask leading questions as a counseling technique.

A

false, asking leading questions can be perceived as manipulative and may give the clinician inaccurate impressions of how the person is feeling and thinking. For example, asking clients if they have been feeling anxious since their voice disorder began or asking a family member if they have been depressed since their husband’s stroke would be considered a leading question.

48
Q

Which of the following is not a way clinicians can support families?

Alternatives: CES, FEES

56
Q

How would you proceed with proposing a modified diet? Discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives. Consider the quality of existing evidence.

  3. Benefits: possibly reduce choking and pneumonia, easier to control swallow
  4. Risks: increase in pharyngeal residue, effects on medications, malnutrition, dehydration, disruptions to eating and lifestyle
  5. need to consider and disclose overall lack of supporting evidence
  6. Alternatives: normal diet, feeding tube, trial therapy
