Explanation:

• "Asking patients to use tissues for coughs and sneezes": This prevents the spread of germs through respiratory droplets, promoting asepsis.
• "Keeping office at approximately 82 degrees": Warmer temperatures do not promote asepsis; in fact, some pathogens thrive in warmer environments, so this is incorrect.
• "Bringing well patients to the exam room as soon as possible": Reduces the time well patients are exposed to potential pathogens in the waiting area, promoting asepsis.
• "Emptying the trash daily": Removes waste that could harbor germs, helping to maintain a clean and aseptic environment.

Answer:

• Asking patients to use tissues for coughs and sneezes
• Bringing well patients to the exam room as soon as possible
• Emptying the trash daily
