Changing into a hospital gown seems relatively easy, but many of us couldn't figure it out the first time around and ended up putting it on backwards. A hospital gown does afford the wearer a vestige of modesty, if put on correctly.
Instructions
1. Wait until the doctor or nurse has left the room to begin changing. Remove your shoes and street clothing, but keep on your undergarments. Women may remove their bras if they feel comfortable doing that.
2. Place your hands through the arm holes. Make sure the gown opening is in the back before you tie the gown.
3. A gown has two sets of ties; one at the top and the second in the middle of the gown. Tie each pair of ties together as you would tie a shoe lace.
4. Ask guests to leave the room while you are changing if you are not comfortable.
Be sure to ask the doctor if removal of your bra is necessary if you'd rather keep your bra on.
5. Cover yourself with a blanket, your coat or a piece of clothing if you are cold or uncomfortable.
