This document contains approximately 300 multiple-choice questions with verified answers for the NCCT Surgical Technologist Certification Exam 2025/2026 . It offers a comprehensive and in-depth review of surgical technology principles, focusing on instrumentation, sterile technique, patient positioning, intraoperative procedures, and safety protocols required in the operating room. As shown on page 1, the document begins with procedure-specific equipment selection, such as identifying the correct tools for laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (e.g., harmonic scalpel). Early sections (pages 2–10) cover positioning devices (e.g., Wilson frame for spinal fusion), surgical equipment (tourniquets, retractors like Balfour and Bookwalter), and procedure preparation techniques including sterile supply checks (expiration dates, packaging integrity). The middle sections (pages 10–30) focus on critical perioperative practices such as sterile field management, surgical counts, gowning and gloving techniques, patient transfer methods, and infection prevention protocols. It also emphasizes safety measures like sequential compression devices for DVT prevention and correct use of PPE. Later sections (pages 30–44) expand into advanced topics including surgical time-out procedures, medication labeling standards, complication recognition (e.g., malignant hyperthermia), draping techniques, and emergency decision-making in the operating room. The document integrates real clinical scenarios with exam-style questions, reinforcing both theoretical knowledge and hands-on surgical application. Its structured Q&A format closely mirrors NCCT certification exams, helping learners develop critical thinking, procedural accuracy, and confidence in perioperative settings. This document is ideal for: NCCT Surgical Technologist certification candidates Surgical Technology students and trainees Operating Room (OR) interns and technicians Nursing and allied health students specializing in perioperative care The content aligns closely with Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist: A Positive Care Approach, a standard textbook used in surgical technology programs and certification preparation.
