CP2 Before the examination
- Explain to the client what the scan entails so that they can give fully informed consent.
- Give the client an opportunity to ask questions and provide appropriate answers.
- Record the consent discussion in the notes on the pre-scan questionnaire.
- If possible, use a chaperone of the same gender as the client.
- If it is a different person acting as a chaperone to who completed the initial discussion allow the chaperone to consider any notes and have a further discussion with the client if necessary.
- Ensure the client is given privacy to dress and undress. DO NOT assist the client with undressing.
- Keep the client covered up as much as possible to maintain their dignity.
