Abstract

Many nurses are uncertain of how to appropriately document wound information, and this may result in inconsistent wound care. A method of educating staff nurses on the importance of wound care documentation is needed. Through computerized self-study modules, staff nurses were educated on how to complete documentation accurately and completely, including how to identify the type of wound, stage the wound (for pressure ulcers), measure the wound, and describe exudate, wound base, odor, pain, temperature, tunneling, undermining, and maceration.
