HNC Quizizz Modules 7/8

which muscle is NOT primarily involved in achieving velopharyngeal closure

tensor veli palatin

Passavant’s ridge refers to

a muscular bulge on the posterior pharyngeal wall during speech

which instrumental assessment best visualizes the movement of the velopharyngeal valve during speech

nasopharygoscopy

when evaluating for hypernasality using the “cul de sac test” - what outcome

a difference in resonance when the nose is pinched closed

bifid uvula, the upside down notch in the palate, is a feature of

submucous cleft palate

which speech context is the best for testing nasal emission

repeating 66

nasal emission during /s/ and /sh/ production in a child with no cleft history is most likely due to

phoneme specific nasal emission 

which statement best explains the functional consequence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI)

allows excessive nasal airflow during oral sound production

which pattern of velopharyngeal (VP) closure is the most common

coronal pattern

a patient produces “b” and “p” with nasal airflow and weak pressure. this most likely indicates:

nasal emission

cul de sac resonance results from

obstruction that traps sounds within a cavity

which best differentiates compensatory misarticulations from obligatory ones

compensatory errors are learned articulations and persist after surgery

a patient’s speech sounds muffled and low in volume, but there’s no nasal airflow. the most likely resonance disorder is

cul de sac resonance

mixed resonance is characterized by

hypernasality on oral sounds and hyponasality on nasal sounds

why is generally recommended to wait until age 3-4 assess speech, resonance, and velopharyngeal (VP) functions?

the child needs to have sufficient speech and language skills to participate meaningfully in testing

the intra oral exam allows clinicians to evaluate oral structure and function but not

VP function

which speech sample is good to test for hyponasality

all of them
