A clothing subscription box randomly includes one of five free accessories: socks, belt, watch, tie, or hat. What is the probability a customer receives something other than a tie or a hat? OPTIONSA. 3/5B. 2/5C. 1/2D. 1/5 ANSWERA. 3/5 EXPLANATIONThere are 5 total outcomes. Two (tie and hat) are not favorable, so three remain.

A recruiter is selecting a candidate at random. The probability the selected candidate is from the marketing team is 0.2, and from the finance team is 0.3. No one is in both departments. What is the probability the selected candidate is from either team? ANSWER: 0.5 EXPLANATION:Because the teams are disjoint (no overlap), you add the individual probabilities:0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5.

Cerebellar ataxia is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:

21. You are a clinician in an acute inpatient hospital. You receive a consult for a 66 year-old male who presented to the ED due to a fall. His medical history is also significant for HTN, urinary incontinence, excessive sweating, and HLD.  Upon entry into the room the patient reports that he is falling much more frequently over the past 8 months, and has noticed significant decline of his speech function with listeners frequently asking him to repeat himself because of reduced loudness and consonant imprecision. He also acknowledges coughing/choking with thin liquids at home approximately once per meal. a). What tasks/evaluative techniques would you use to evaluate this patient? (2 points)

22. You are consulted to see a patient in an outpatient multi-disciplinary clinic and have no information on the patient’s medical history. You observe an OME WFL. A motor speech evaluation reveals a hyperkinetic dysarthria characterized by what is perceptually deemed vocal breaks or vocal tremor, a perceptually markedly strained vocal quality, slight respiratory dyscoordination, and a slow rate. b). How are you going to evaluate this patient? (1 point)

What makes a patient a good candidate for DBS? (1 point). Is this patient a good candidate for DBS? (1 point). What are some important things that you would educate the patient on regarding his candidacy and impact to corticobulbar functions? (2 points).

What are 2 movement disorders that commonly present in pediatric populations? Please briefly describe what type of dysarthria you would expect in these populations and how you might intervene to improve signs/symptoms. (2 points).

4. The basal ganglia are comprised of nuclei including the caudate, putamen, and vermis which are responsible for the initiation of voluntary movement.

A 37 year-old male presents to your multi-disciplinary clinic with clumsiness and intermittent jerking/writhing of all the limbs. He exhibits variable loudness and rate. He has a history of psychiatric paranoia and hallucinations. Family history is significant for dementia at young ages. What is this patient’s most likely diagnosis?

Video Case 1. Please answer the following questions based on the audio sample from Case 1. A 67 year-old female with a 3 year history of parkinsonism presents to your outpatient clinic for a routine evaluation of speech-language and swallowing function as part of her multi-disciplinary neurological visit. Regarding speech function, she notes significant changes over the last 2 years with an increased need to repeat herself to listeners; however, she denies any cognitive changes. In terms of swallowing function, she received an MBS 2 years ago which identified intermittent penetration above the level of the vocal folds and mild residue in the pyriform sinuses. She admits to coughing/choking everyday during meals; however, she denies pneumonia, pain, and weight loss. The patient also reports a history of reflux which she manages with daily oral medication. b). Based on the above perceptual motor speech evaluation, please state what type(s) of dysarthria you think this patient has? (2 points).
