In care settings, acceptable forms of touch include supportive gestures such as gentle hand-holding, reassuring pats on the back, or guiding a patient during mobility assistance. Touch should always be context-sensitive, respectful, and based on the individual’s comfort level and consent. It's crucial to communicate clearly with the patient or resident about the purpose of the touch to foster trust and ensure their emotional and physical safety. Additionally, maintaining professional boundaries is essential to uphold dignity and respect in care interactions.
