When changing a gown for a person with an IV, first ensure that the IV line remains secure and undisturbed. Carefully remove the gown from the arm without the IV, then gently slide the gown over the IV site and tubing, taking care not to pull or dislodge the catheter. When putting on a new gown, reverse the process by first threading it over the arm with the IV, ensuring the line remains intact and free of tension.
