✍️ Sample PCT Questions & Answers

1. Maintaining patient confidentiality means a PCT should NEVER:
✓ Share patient information with unauthorized individuals

HIPAA requires that patient information only be shared with those directly involved in their care.

2. You notice a coworker documenting care that was not provided. You should:
✓ Report the concern to your supervisor

Falsifying medical records is a serious legal and ethical violation that must be reported to a supervisor.

3. When a needle accidentally punctures the phlebotomist's skin, the FIRST action is to:
✓ Immediately wash the area with soap and water

Immediate washing with soap and water is the first response to a needlestick, removing potential pathogens before further steps are taken.

4. A PCT forgets to document intake and output (I&O) for a two-hour period. What is the best course of action?
✓ Document the known information as a late entry, noting the delay

A late entry is acceptable when clearly labeled as such; fabricating or guessing values is falsification of records.

5. Under HIPAA, who is authorized to access a patient's medical record?
✓ Only staff directly involved in the patient's care

HIPAA restricts medical record access to those with a need-to-know based on their role in the patient's care.

6. Which of the following best describes how to clean the urethral meatus of a female patient during catheter insertion?
✓ Use one wipe for each stroke, always moving from the meatus outward

Each cleansing stroke must use a fresh swab moving from the clean meatus outward to prevent contamination of the sterile urethral opening.
