Overall, documentation should record the following elements5: Wound etiology or cause (pressure, venous, arterial, surgical, etc.) Wound odor (strong, foul, pungent, etc.) Wound location, described with proper anatomical terms. Thickness characteristics for nonpressure wounds.
Wounds should be described by length by width, with the length of the wound based on the head-to-toe axis. The width of a wound should be measured from side to side laterally. If a wound is deep, the deepest point of the wound should be measured to the wound surface using a sterile, cotton-tipped applicator.
ISTAP defines a skin tear as a wound caused by shear, friction, and/or blunt force resulting in separation of skin layers. A skin tear can be partial-thickness (separation of the epidermis from the dermis) or full-thickness (separation of both the epidermis and dermis from underlying structures).
When documenting a wound, start with the location of the wound as defined by the anatomical man. If the wound is a pressure injury, describe the stage of the wound. Then describe the wound bed as to granulation tissue, slough, black eschar, epithelialization, and so on.
you want to document not only that youve changed the dressing, but what, if any, cleansing or treatment youve done to the wound. you want to note what drainage, if any, was on the old dressing and what it appeared like. wounds should be described in as objective a way a possible.
