EOT New Counselor Practice Test

A basic guideline for safe touch is which of the following?

don’t touch children in a place that would normally be covered by a bathing suit touch them everywhere as needed high-five only for praise handshake is never allowed

Correct Answer:

don’t touch children in a place that would normally be covered by a bathing suit

Explanation:

Safe touch emphasizes privacy and boundaries. A basic guideline is to avoid touching parts of the body that would normally be covered by a bathing suit, preserving a child’s privacy and reducing the risk of inappropriate contact. This sets a clear standard for professional interactions and helps protect both the child and the caregiver. Other options miss the boundary that protects privacy. Touching everywhere as needed ignores personal space and safety, while relying only on nonessential gestures like high-fives for praise or saying a handshake is never allowed both misstate how touch is used in caregiving. The focus here is on appropriate, necessary contact that respects privacy and safety.
