C. To evaluate the patients' ability to comply with long-term follow-up
requirements
D. All of the above
E. A and B only.
Answer: D. All of the above
A. To determine if there are other options for managing the current

B. To determine if there are comorbidities contraindicated for

C. To evaluate the patients' ability to comply with long-term follow-up
requirements
,⩥ Patient and family education on transplantation begins with the first
interaction with a nurse (phone or in person). Patients and families need

**Demographics of donor are not given out to recipient
⩥ Transplant coordinator education during the evaluation phase should

except:
A. Results of physical exam, labs and tests
,B. Determining best option based on evaluation, surgical risks and
potential complications
C. Suitability for transplant
D. Relevance of psychosocial issues
E. Expected survival rates.
Answer: B. Determining best option based on evaluation, surgical risks
and potential complications
**This is a committee decision and not during the evaluation phase

rejection following transplant
B. The PRA must be zero to proceed with transplant
C. Serum of prospective recipient is tested against a panel of
