ANS: 1
The meaning of touch is highly individualized and is influenced by the length of the touch, the part of the body touched, the way the client is touched, and the frequency of touch. Option 2 is untrue. Touch is often misinterpreted. Option 3 is also untrue. It may be highly inappropriate to use touch to convey warmth and interest. Option 4 is incorrect; unfortunately, suspicious clients often do not have a sense of humor.
