Is it permissible for a female nurse to touch the bodies of men?

Is it permissible for a female Muslim nurse who works in a medical clinic, dispensary, or hospital to touch the bodies of men, both Muslims and non-Muslims, if it is required by the nature of her work? It may be difficult to change the work because opportunities are not always available.

It is not permissible for a woman to touch the body of non-mahram men, whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims, unless there is a necessity that lifts the prohibition. However, there is no problem if she wears gloves that prevent direct contact.
