Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E, F
Touch is a form of nonverbal communication that is inherent in the practice of nursing. Nearly every nursing intervention for the purpose of providing physical care calls for touch. Touch is frequently highly personal or of an intimate nature (e.g., giving a bed bath, assisting a patient on or off a bedpan, inserting a urinary catheter). Because of the intimate nature of touch in the nursing context, it is necessary to use it with great discretion to fit into sociocultural norms and guidelines. Some nurses are uncomfortable with touch because of a fear of it seeming inappropriate or being misinterpreted. When a nurse feels comfortable with physical contact with a patient, touch has great potential for conveying warmth, caring, support, and understanding. For the nurse to convey warmth, it is absolutely necessary for the nature of their touch to be sincere and genuine.
