Is it ok to ask the SP to lower his gown in order to do a quick heart auscultation in aortic and pulmonary areas instead of asking him to untie his gown wich would take longer?..., of course talking about a noncardiac case

Thanks from now

i would advise against lowering the gown, ask the patient politely wether you can untie the gown & examine him. cool
