because this is developed between ages 3 and 8. /ʒ/ is last
because this is developed between ages 6 and 8.
An 81-year-old female presents to a rehabilitation hospital
following a severe L MCA stroke. The patient has poststroke right-
sided weakness, right neglect, and suspected nonfluent aphasia.
Receptive language appears to be mildly impacted. The patient
has a complex medical history, including TBI following a car
accident two years ago, obesity, diabetes, seizure disorder,
congestive heart failure, and hypertension. Socially, the patient
has lived alone for the past three years following her husband's
death. Since her car accident she mainly watches TV at home and
leaves her house only for dialysis. She has meals on wheels and
home health aides to assist her with showering.
Because of her TBI, her behavior is often variable and erratic. The
highest level of education she attained was seventh grade. She
stayed home to take care of her children and did not have a
career.

assessing the patient's phrase length?
A divergent naming tasks
B a conversation with a known
partner C to open-ended
questions
D sentences of varying lengths Correct Ans - Option

that high vowels tend to have low F1 frequencies.
A 65-year-old patient is transferred from another facility with a
diagnosis of aphasia. The patient's symptoms, however, appear
more consistent with apraxia. Which of the following tasks for
the patient is most appropriate when assessing verbal apraxia of
speech?
A words of increasing
length B three common
items C voluntary oral
movements
D two-step commands Correct Ans - Option (A) is
correct. Inability to repeat two-syllable words is a clear indicator of
apraxia of speech.

An SLP receives a referral from an audiologist for a 72-year-old
woman who demonstrates a moderate to severe bilateral
sensorineural hearing loss preventing her from participating in
social activities. Which of the following best identifies the SLP's
role?
A in speech reading
B hearing aids
C an auditory
evaluation
D auditory integration training Correct Ans - Option (A)
is correct. Providing speech-reading therapy is a primary role for
SLPs as it enhances the overall communicative competency for
the client.
An SLP provides home practice for a patient with aphasia as part of
discharge plans. The patient is approximately six-months post left-
hemisphere stroke that resulted in aphasia. Verbal output has
improved significantly since the stroke; however, the patient is still
very concerned that written expression is moderately impaired at
the single-word level. The homework assignment is to implement
copy-and-recall treatment to improve written expression, which
involves practicing writing target words (from photographs) and
then copying those words multiple times. However, during a follow-
up phone call, the SLP determines that the patient is struggling to
write the assigned target words because the patient "can't think of
the correct letters." Although a model is provided on the back of
each target photograph, the patient wants to find a way to
WGU C215 SLP ETS Practice Test Form 2 Q&A
100%Correct Latest Update 2022/
practice without looking at the answer. The SLP's best course of
action is to suggest that the patient
A anagramming the words using letter tiles to form the target
word B writing the alphabet in order multiple times before
beginning the homework again
C a cell phone voice-to-text application as a compensatory
strategy D drawing to convey messages instead of using
written expression
Correct Ans - Option (A) is correct. This approach would give the
client the best access to completing the homework. The letter tiles
would provide a support for the client to complete the homework
and are a regular part of this treatment approach.
Which of the following instruments is often used to document
stages of recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
A Coma Scale
B of Executive
Function
C Inventory of Communication Development

The commonly used chin-down posture was initially developed to
eliminate thin-liquid aspiration in people with delayed
pharyngeal stage onset after having a stroke, and when its
efficacy was investigated, it was found to be 50% effective. For
whom is the chin-down posture ineffective at eliminating thin-
liquid aspiration?
A who have cricopharyngeal dysfunction
B who aspirate residue from the pyriform
sinuses C who have impaired lingual
function
D who aspirate residue from the valleculaeCorrect Ans -
Option (B) is correct. Shanahan et al. (1993) found that 50 percent
of people with stroke- and swallowing-related aspiration due to
delayed onset of the pharyngeal response continued to aspirate
from the pyriform sinuses using the chin-down posture. Moreover,
Eisenhuber et al. (2002) found that people with a pyriform sinus
residue with a height that was less than 50 percent of the
pyriform sinus height aspirated significantly more than those with
less or no pyriform sinus residue.

Management of which one of the following examination
observations alone will produce the best improvement in the
pneumonia risk of an adult patient with chronic dysphagia?
A oral bolus control and containment
B oral hygiene and dependence for
oral care
C onset of the pharyngeal stage of swallowing
D distension of the upper esophageal sphincter
Correct Ans
- Option (B) is correct. Studies have identified poor oral hygiene
(including
presence of decayed teeth) and dependency for oral care as
significant independent predictors of pneumonia in people with
chronic dysphagia.
Which of the following is a distinguishing characteristic of
articulation therapy for a 2-year-old patient with a repaired cleft
palate and compensatory errors?

A through multiple speech goals in a given
session B a play-based learning approach
to address goals C on carryover of
speech productions
D speech targets with high frequency and intensity
Correct Ans -
Option (B) is correct. Based on the age of the child, the
only appropriate treatment listed is a play-based approach. All
other treatments listed are inappropriate for the age of the child.
Early intentional communication typically emerges in the months
leading up to a child's first birthday. Which of the following

Alternating Attention—Sorting playing cards by color, then sorting
by number, and then sorting by color again. Sustained Attention—
Focusing on hearing a person speaking while the television is on.
Selective Attention— Listening to a list of spoken words for a
target word. Working Memory— Solving a complex math problem
in your head. Any other order is incorrect because as Sohlberg and
Mateer (2010) lay out the types of attention, their descriptions
match the assessment tasks described below. That is, sustained
attention involves maintaining attention over a period of time;
selective attention involves a simple short-term task such as
listening for specific words in a list; working memory involves
holding information in your head and manipulating that
information (math problem); and alternating attention involves
switching between two tasks or two parts of a task (sorting by
color and then by number).
An SLP assesses a 3-year-old child with poor intelligibility. The SLP
attempts to determine whether the child has a severe phonological
disorder or childhood apraxia of speech (CASC A S). Which TWO of
the following characteristics are primarily indicative of CASC A S?
A with decreased strength and muscle
coordination B inconsistencies in articulation
performance
C the same errors independent of length of speech
utterance D with a disrupted rate, rhythm, and
stress of speech
Correct Ans - Correct Answer: B, D
WGU C215 SLP ETS Practice Test Form 2 Q&A
100%Correct Latest Update 2022/
Options (B) and (D) are correct. Children with CASC A S struggle
to make consistent productions of speech sounds. Children with
CASC A S speak with a rate, rhythm, and stress of speech that can
be disrupted, and sometimes they can appear to be groping for
placement.
