Abstract: The present invention is directed to an article of clothing and a method for accessing a portion of a patient's body for treatment that permit an area of treatment to remain substantially covered. In one embodiment, a shirt/jacket is provided that has a first closeable opening in the front of the shirt/jacket that extends from the bottom of the shirt/jacket to the top of the collar or neckline and a second closeable opening extending from the outer cuff of a sleeve to the neckline at the outer top side of the collar. The second closeable opening is preferably opened and closed by a hook and loop fastener. This permits tubing to be routed through the second closeable opening to be attached to an intravenous access device in a patient's arm and for the shirt sleeve to remain substantially closed and cover the patient even when treatment is being provided to the arm.
