What do I do if the hat won't stay on the patient's head?
If the hat won't stay on the patient's head, the hat either
needs to be replaced with a new hat because the current hat has stretched out,
or you need to replace the hat with a smaller hat.
Place a new hat of the same size on the patient's head. If
this new hat still does not stay in place, you will need to replace it with a
smaller size hat.
