Question

which of the following practices helps promote asepsis in the office? ☐ asking patients to use tissues for coughs and sneezes ☐ emptying the trash daily ☐ bringing well patients to the exam room as soon as possible ☐ keeping office at approximately 82 degrees

Explanation:

Asepsis refers to practices that prevent the spread of infection. Asking patients to use tissues for coughs and sneezes directly reduces the spread of infectious droplets, which is a key aseptic practice. Emptying trash daily is more about general cleanliness, bringing patients to exam rooms is a logistical task, and office temperature control is unrelated to asepsis.

Answer:

A. Asking patients to use tissues for coughs and sneezes
