http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/fleitas/mdtips.html You may have to cut and paste this link, but I thought it was a nice collection of kids' views. One of the 1st antidotes on this site is: "When I was sick and had to go to see you a lot, you never made me take all my clothes off, and you let my Mom stay with me, even though I'm ten years old. Thanks!" This leads me to the question, how does everyone approach exams - and I am talking about well child exams, not sick visits. We have kids up to about 2 years old get down to clean diaper only to do weights, etc. If it seems chilly in the room, I will let the parent slip the T-shirt back on (I can always pull it up). After that point, if it is loose clothing that I can move around easily, I will allow the child/teen to remain mostly dressed. I use a sheet to cover as I move around the body. I know some health care providers that make a child wear only a gown for everything - weights and the exam included. I was just wondering how everyone else does it. -Diane, CNP [demime 0.98e removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of image001.gif]
