∘ inspect the office for contaminated surfaces

∘ mop rooms between patients

need help? review these concept resources

Explanation:

To determine ways to promote medical asepsis:

• "Notify housekeeping of contaminated items" helps address contamination.
• "Bleach every surface" is excessive; not all surfaces need bleaching.
• "Inspect for contaminated surfaces" identifies issues to address.
• "Mop rooms between patients" reduces microbial load.

Among these, "Inspect the office for contaminated surfaces" is a key step to identify areas needing decontamination, a core part of medical asepsis (preventing pathogen spread).

Answer:

C. Inspect the office for contaminated surfaces
