  • Visual Inspection. Do describe what you see: type of wound, location, size, stage or depth, color, tissue type, exudate, erythema, condition of periwound.
  • Pressure Injury Risk Assessment. Do perform a PI risk assessment (e.g., Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk©), and document the score regularly per your facility guideline.
  • Precise Use of Language. Do be very specific in your note about any of your communications with other health care providers, the patient or resident, or the family (e.g., "Informed Dr. Jones at 10:30 AM about change in Mr. Smith's wound status [describe]").
  • Pertinent Information to Include. Do record pertinent information in your wound care note, such as any changes in the wound parameters, pain level, overall patient or resident condition, or interventions.
  • Wound Category Changes. Do document when a wound changes category (i.e., a skin tear evolves into a PI, or a PI becomes a surgical wound after a surgical repair, or a DTI evolves to a stage 4 PI).
