SLP 655 Exam 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the main purposes of a voice assessment? | Identify whether a disorder is present, determine its severity and characteristics, evaluate its impact on daily life, and guide treatment. |
| What is a comprehensive voice evaluation? | An evaluation that combines patient history, patient perceptions, clinician perceptions, objective measurements, and visual examination of the larynx. |
| Why are multiple assessment methods needed? | Each method provides different information, allowing the clinician to develop a more complete understanding of the patient's voice disorder. |
| What are the main categories of voice assessment? | Case history, oral mechanism examination, patient self-report, auditory-perceptual assessment, acoustic analysis, aerodynamic testing, and laryngeal imaging. |
| What is the difference between subjective and objective assessment? | Subjective assessment relies on perceptions or judgments, while objective assessment uses measurable data. |
| What is auditory-perceptual assessment? | Evaluating voice quality by listening to the patient's voice. |
| What is acoustic analysis? | Using technology to measure and analyze characteristics of the voice signal. |
| What is aerodynamic assessment? | Measuring airflow and air pressure during voice production to evaluate how the respiratory and phonatory systems function together. |
| What is laryngeal imaging used for? | Visually examining the larynx and vocal folds to assess their structure, movement, and vibration. |
| What is the purpose of a patient self-report questionnaire? | To understand how the voice disorder affects the patient's daily activities, emotions, and perceived quality of life. |
| What is the purpose of a case history? | To gather information about symptoms, medical history, vocal habits, and concerns that may contribute to the voice disorder. |
| What is the purpose of an oral mechanism examination? | To examine the structures and movements involved in speech and voice production. |
| What is the difference between rigid and flexible scopes? | A rigid scope provides a sharper image but limits speech tasks, while a flexible scope allows assessment during more natural speech. |
| What is videostroboscopy? | A procedure that uses a strobe light and imaging to examine vocal fold vibration and vibratory characteristics. |
| What is the difference between low-tech and high-tech assessment? | Low-tech assessment uses simple clinical tasks and observations, while high-tech assessment uses specialized equipment to obtain more detailed measurements. |
| What factors can affect the reliability of voice recordings? | Background noise, room acoustics, microphone quality and placement, recording distance, and consistency of recording procedures. |
| What is the purpose of voice assessment before treatment? | To establish a baseline, identify the patient's needs, determine appropriate goals, and help guide treatment planning. |
| Why is patient perception important in a voice evaluation? | The severity of a voice disorder does not always match how much it affects the patient's daily life, so the patient's perspective is essential. |
| How do assessment results guide treatment? | They help clinicians identify areas of difficulty, select appropriate interventions, establish goals, and monitor progress. |
| What is the overall goal of a comprehensive voice evaluation? | To combine perceptual, objective, patient-reported, and visual information to understand the voice disorder and guide clinical decision-making. |
