Sample CCTC - Certified Clinical Transplant Coordinator Practice Questions
Try these questions from our free CCTC - Certified Clinical Transplant Coordinator practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.
A transplant coordinator is counseling a heart transplant patient about Toxoplasma gondii risk. Which donor-recipient serostatus combination carries the highest risk for post-transplant toxoplasmosis?
- A. Donor negative / Recipient negative
- B. Donor positive / Recipient positive
- C. Donor negative / Recipient positive
- D. Donor positive / Recipient negative
Answer: D. Donor positive / Recipient negative
A seropositive donor transmitting latent Toxoplasma to a seronegative recipient (D+/R−) carries the highest risk, as the recipient lacks pre-existing immunity and is heavily immunosuppressed.
A transplant coordinator is reviewing post-transplant prophylaxis orders. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is prescribed primarily to prevent which infection in the early post-transplant period?
- A. Cytomegalovirus disease
- B. Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia
- C. Invasive candidiasis
- D. BK virus nephropathy
Answer: B. Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia
TMP-SMX is the first-line prophylactic agent against Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and also provides coverage against Toxoplasma and some bacterial urinary pathogens in transplant recipients.
A transplant coordinator working with an international patient learns the patient's home country arranged for a paid organ from a vendor abroad. The transplant will occur at the US center. What is the coordinator's obligation?
- A. Provide care without judgment, as the donation occurred outside US jurisdiction
- B. Refuse to participate and report the situation to institutional leadership and appropriate authorities
- C. Document the concern but proceed if the patient's medical need is critical
- D. Consult only the transplant surgeon, who bears sole responsibility for acceptance decisions
Answer: B. Refuse to participate and report the situation to institutional leadership and appropriate authorities
Transplant tourism involving paid organs violates ethical standards and potentially US law; the coordinator must decline participation and escalate to institutional leadership.
A local celebrity receives a transplant at your center. A reporter calls the transplant coordinator asking for an update, claiming to have a signed authorization from the patient's publicist. What is the coordinator's most appropriate and HIPAA-compliant next step?
- A. Provide the requested information since an authorization was mentioned.
- B. Refer the call to the hospital's designated Public Relations or Media Affairs department.
- C. Ask the reporter to fax the authorization directly to the transplant office for review.
- D. State that providing information is against policy under all circumstances.
Answer: B. Refer the call to the hospital's designated Public Relations or Media Affairs department.
Under HIPAA, protected health information (PHI) can be released to the media with a valid, patient-signed authorization. However, the responsibility for verifying the authenticity and scope of such authorizations, especially for high-profile cases, rests with the hospital's designated department (e.g., Public Relations). The coordinator's correct action is to route the inquiry through the proper institutional channels, not to verify the authorization themselves or release information without verification.
