Question

which of the following actions should a pharmacy technician take when cleaning a laminar flow hood? use chlorhexidine to clean the hood. use tap water to clean the hood. wipe all sides of the hood starting at the back in a vertical motion from top to bottom using overlapping strokes. when cleaning the work - surface, start at the front and use vertical overlapping strokes from front to back.

Explanation:

Chlorhexidine may not be the best - choice for cleaning laminar flow hoods as it can leave residues. Tap water can introduce contaminants. When cleaning the work - surface of a laminar flow hood, starting at the back and moving forward helps prevent contamination of the cleaned area. Wiping all sides of the hood starting at the back in a vertical motion from top to bottom using overlapping strokes is the correct procedure to ensure all surfaces are cleaned and to avoid leaving uncleaned spots.

Answer:

Wipe all sides of the hood starting at the back in a vertical motion from top to bottom using overlapping strokes.
