    The speech exam involves assessing a patient's orientation, comprehension, repetition, naming, and reading/writing abilities. The examiner shakes the patient's hand, determines handedness, and confirms the patient is oriented before asking them to describe their surroundings. Dysarthria and dysphonia are noted, and the patient's comprehension, repetition, and naming skills are tested through following instructions, answering questions, and repeating/naming objects.
