a pharmacy technician is cleaning a laminar flow hood. which of the following actions should the technician take? use chlorhexidine to clean the hood. use tap water to clean the hood. wipe the hood in a horizontal fashion, from back to front. wipe the sides of the hood from bottom to top.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Laminar - flow hoods are cleaned to maintain a sterile environment. Chlorhexidine may not be the standard cleaner. Tap water can introduce contaminants. Wiping from back - to - front horizontally helps in maintaining the airflow pattern and minimizing contamination spread. Wiping sides from bottom to top is incorrect as it can cause contaminants to flow downwards.
# Answer:
Wipe the hood in a horizontal fashion, from back to front.
