Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Allowing residents to read aloud helps to improve and maintain verbal fluency because it provides an opportunity to practice those skills.
B Incorrect. Reading aloud does not usually require analysis.
C Incorrect. Reading is unlikely to improve object recall unless displaying objects is part of the reading.
D Incorrect. Visuospatial skill is the ability to perceive the relationship of objects in terms of the space each object occupies; reading is unlikely to improve this skill.

Answer to Question 2

Verbal apraxia
The muscles of speech are not paralyzed; rather, a disruption occurs in the brain's transmission of signals to the muscles. When thinking about what to say, the person may be unable to speak at all or may struggle to say any words. In contrast, the person may be able to say many words or sentences correctly when not thinking about the words. Apraxia frequently occurs with aphasia.
