Hi,

During the abdominal exam i understand you place the sheet over the patients lap and then lift up the gown.

After your finished with the exam how do you place the gown back under the sheet? Im having difficulty doing this smoothly and with fluidity.

Thanks!

I put the gown over the sheet, then pull the sheet out from under the gown. Make sense?

Or sometimes, just pull the gown down as you pull the sheet down, just keep the gown an inch or so ahead of the sheet (over it) and they'll stay covered...
