Explanation:

First Question (How often should a pharmacy technician wash and sanitize the walls and ceiling of a clean room?)

In pharmacy clean room standards, walls and ceilings of clean rooms (for sterile compounding, etc.) are typically washed and sanitized every 6 months. Daily, weekly, or monthly is too frequent for walls/ceilings (surfaces less prone to frequent contamination compared to work surfaces), while 6 - month intervals align with best practices for these less - touched surfaces.

• USP <71> is for microbial limits tests.
• USP <795> is for non - sterile compounding.
• USP <797> is for sterile compounding.
• USP <800> specifically outlines safe handling and disposal of hazardous medications in healthcare settings.

Answer:

Every 6 months
