Certified Clinical Transplant Nurse (CCTN) Practice Exam

The role of a Coordinator post-Operating Room (OR) encompasses a variety of critical responsibilities aimed at ensuring a smooth transition from surgery to recovery and facilitating the transplant process. Among these tasks, monitoring the donor's physical recovery is generally not part of the Coordinator's responsibilities after the operation. This duty typically falls under the purview of clinical staff or the surgical team who are directly involved in the patient's immediate post-operative care.

The Coordinator primarily focuses on logistical and administrative aspects following the surgery, such as faxing OR paperwork to UNet to ensure proper record-keeping and communication with transplantation agencies, notifying relevant entities of the completion of the case, and arranging the transport for the donor for further care or management. Thus, while monitoring recovery is crucial in the donor's journey, it is not a function that the Coordinator is responsible for in the immediate post-OR phase.
