If it was any other male patient, would she ask him to do it?

proper auscultation should not be done through clothing. For maximal auscultatory yield, the stethoscope should be touching the patient's bare chest.
Directly on the patient's skin allows for the best sound transmission. When listening to a very soft heart murmur, having a quiet room and the patient's chest completely exposed is necessary. However, a thin garment, such as a T-shirt or a hospital gown, doesn't create a large loss of sound.
Clothing, even light layers, can dampen the sounds you are attempting to hear. You'll hear best if you place the stethoscope diaphragm directly against the patient's bare skin.
