On the topic of your question, I'm not a lawyer, but I teach for the Red Cross, and we teach our emergency care students that touching a person without consent (either obtained consent or implied consent) constitutes battery.
Same rules apply. Explain process and ask for sore spots, offer private screening under certain conditions. About it.
