ANS: B
Caring touch is the way a nurse holds a patient's hand, gives a back massage, or gently positions a patient. Touch that occurs when tasks are being performed, such as insertion of a catheter or administering an injection, is known as task-oriented touch. Touch used to protect the patient (holding and bracing a patient to avoid a fall) or nurse (withdraws from tension-filled situations) is known as protective touch.
