what evidence - based strategy is universally used for all patients in perioperative care to reduce infection?
maintain hypothermia immobilisation oxygen for 24 hours glucose control

Explanation:

In perioperative care, to reduce infections, "Glucose control" (likely a typo or mislabel, more accurately "Infection prevention bundles" or standardly Hand hygiene and aseptic techniques, but among the options, "Glucose control" is incorrect. Wait, re - evaluating: The correct evidence - based strategy universally used for all perioperative patients to reduce infection is Infection prevention practices like aseptic technique, hand hygiene, and standard precautions. But among the given options, the most relevant (assuming a possible option clarity issue) – wait, the options are "Maintain hypothermia" (wrong, normothermia is better), "Immobilization" (not for infection), "Oxygen for 24 hours" (not infection - focused), "Glucose control" (if it's about glycemic control, but not universal for all perioperative patients for infection. Wait, maybe a misprint. But if we have to choose from these, the intended correct answer is likely a mislabel, but perhaps the question has a typo. However, in standard perioperative infection prevention, the key is Infection control practices (like hand hygiene, sterile technique). But among the options, if we assume a possible error and the intended answer is "Glucose control" (unlikely) or maybe a different option. Wait, no – the correct evidence - based strategy universally used is Infection prevention and control measures (like hand hygiene, aseptic technique). But among the given options, the best fit (assuming a possible option mix - up) is that the intended answer is likely a mislabel, but if we have to pick, the correct option (assuming the question's options have a typo and the correct one is related to infection control, but from the given, the answer is:

Answer:

The correct option is the one related to infection control. Among the given, if we assume a typo and the intended is "Infection control" (but the option is "Glucose control" – likely a mistake, but if we have to choose from the given, the answer is: \boxed{Glucose control} (Note: This is likely a typo in the question, and the actual correct strategy is infection prevention practices like hand hygiene, aseptic technique, etc.)
