1. A medical chaperone should be offered at all times for patient liability issues.
2. A medical chaperone may be needed when a parent is present to help ease anxiety and promote patient safety.
3. Chaperones are needed as a professional safety net to make sure the patient is safe. Hearsay cannot occur.
4. Chaperones are recommended during sensitive procedures and parts of an exam, regardless of the sex of the patient and examiner. They are usually not needed when a parent is present, but may be advisable when the parent has mental health deficits, cognitive impairment, or trust issues. If chaperones are refused, some situations call for modifying or deferring a particular exam or procedure.
