Rationale: When the client is ready for the examination, the nurse indicates this by placing the chart outside the examination room and notifying the physician. The nurse assists the client into the lithotomy position for the pelvic examination. The gown is placed with the opening in the front, not the back. A signed consent is not required, and all clients admitted to the physician's office sign a general consent for treatment.
