...the swabs of orifices bits? Yes, I'm studying for the exam and this bit about swabs keeps coming up on my preperation q's and a's.

I'm struggling to get my head around the line;

" a swab can be taken from any part of a persons body including the mouth but not any other body orifice other than a part from which a swab taken would be an intimate sample". PACE, Code D 6.1b

Can anyone please explain the intricacy to this?
Also, does a swab count as a sample as per part a) ?

Really lost on this topic and appreciate any assistance.
